Dobey1 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Can anyone explain how to remove the removable ladder? I must be missing something here because I can t seem to figure it out. What is the magic trim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redrum Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 it slides thru a slot on each side of the bracket and snaps in place....I can tell that your bracket is different than mine. I think, after enlarging your photo of the bracket....we are not comparing apples to apples. I have a much older model bracket and ladder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all wet Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Looks like one I had on one of my old boats. To lower it I had to lift it straight up from where yours is in the picture, then just let it swing down and the pins at the top rest on the face of the bracket. To remove it off the bracket, I think it had to be in the up position as yours is, lift up and twist it so the pins rotate out of the bracket. Then lift up and remove.

I was so mad the other day I almost removed it with an angle grinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Lift it to the top of the slot, then rotate the ladder. The slot is "L" shaped and the pins on the ladder will turn out the top of the "L". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobey1 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 The ladder arm is hitting the transom. when i lift and try to turn there is no way to turn the ladder. I think some one installed it to low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Can't imagine how they got it in there. I installed the same ladder on my 18MA. I had the same issue when I laid out the install, so I cut off the top step. I didn't think the top step was necessary anyway, it was so close to the deck. The distance from the second step to the deck was just fine. All you have to do is cut the small welds, and a slot in one side so the step can come off the pipe. I just used dremel to cut the weld, then filed it a bit after the step was off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
