My boat has a one of these, or something 90% similar to it, mounted on the transom. https://greatlakesskipper.com/tracke...yABEgIswPD_BwE
It works great.
Just curious about something I've been thinking about. Sometimes I fish alone and was thinking what would happen or how could I get back into my charger bass boat. Does anyone have a set up or a ladder they use or recommend. Especially in cold water.....I never fish alone in the winter still anything can happen....if this thread doesn't belong here I understand...

When I bought my SeaArk I had one put on at the factory. I have tried to climb over the the transom using the motor and I am to old and plush to get up and over. I fish a lot by myself in the warmer months and even if the water were warm I would have to just hang on till someone could stop and get me. Could be a long , long, long wait. I won't have another boat with out a ladder.

Looking at it ..it looks to me like it just screws in to your transom is that correct. I'm like you to old and plump to e crawl in especially with lot of clothes on in the winter
Three or four years ago I added a boarding ladder to my Lund. I had always used the motor before but tried it and could barely do it in the summer with a swim suit on. Age and arthritis makes a difference. I had to build a platform at the rear and attach it there. Don't even recall the name brand but it works well. I posted photos at that time but can no longer find them. I had seen a posting on walleye central about doing one and sorta followed that.

Stuck my head out into the garage and snapped a couple of pics. Now if I can figure out how to attach them

I'd suggest you get a ladder that has 3 steps and hangs down in the water well below the transom when it's deployed. I have a neighbor who put an E ladder on his boat and he was surprised how hard it was for him to get his foot high enough to reach the first step. Being a lot of us fish in the winter we need every advantage we can get. Wet clothes and cold water will make it harder to get back in the boat.
