Harborwright sells the part only — we don't install it. These are general steps; your boat and the maker's manual come first. If you're not sure, have a marine shop fit it.
Safety: Check the water depth below the ladder and make sure it is locked in place before anyone climbs it.
Steps
- Assemble the rails and steps with the stainless hardware, following the VEVOR manual.
- Pick a dock edge with enough water depth and room for the ladder to hang straight down.
- Set the mounting brackets on the dock edge so the ladder hangs plumb, mark the holes and fasten into solid dock framing — not just the deck boards.
- Drop the ladder into the brackets and engage the quick-release lock. Test it with your weight from the dock before climbing from the water.
- Lift it out for winter, storms or when the dock isn't in use.
