I used the bolts that came with it. Not a hard job to do but we did a complete rebuild. Yes you will need a drill and bits, and a socket set to do it, but you can do it. If I remember right it only has 4 bolts, 2 on the rail and 2 on the cross member. Good luck and send pics.

Thanks guys! In my normal impatient fashion I couldn't wait and went ahead and put the ladder on! I did it by myself which is rather astounding if you guys had any idea how incompetent I am with that type of thing! No problems at all ! I am going to get some nyloc nuts though ....because the nuts that came with it ...I would imagine will loosen with the constant vibration.

Highly recommend the ladder!

I know it's a little after the fact but these work great and add to your existing ladder w/o issue.

Well I have had that ladder on mine for a few years now. I used the factory bolts and it works great. No need to buy anything else. I moved my eye bolt so that the ladder fit dead center. I really enjoy it.

That's a nice ladder ,But I can't use it. My changing room is there. So what I do as a 71 year old person, Is I carry a 6 ft fiberglas step ladder. When I need it I open it and put it in the water by one of my side doors.

But the front mount ladder makes it so nice getting on and off the boat. And NO motor to worry about. Nothing is in the way!
