Thank you for asking! It's linked in the first line of the video description for easy access 🙂

Hi there! As it turns out, there's not an easy answer for this. We test our products to make sure they're up to standard, but after checking with our engineer, the best way to find the answer you're looking for is by contacting the boat builder. Though we can solidly tell you that we have not heard anything from our customers about a boat that has been unable to take the load of someone boarding/unboarding from this method :-)

Hello Susan! We love this idea! You are correct, however. Take Apart Hinges probably would not be the best for this application since they rely on gravity and the weight of the door to keep them in place, so they are not able to flip to different sides. Also, the "L" shape makes the different sides incompatible 😞 We don't carry any hinges that are easily interchangeable in the way you want, but we're wishing you the best of luck on your project!

Hey Jefferson! We do have a video on replacing gasket for portlights here: ua-cam.com/video/Ealn6fDsZok/v-deo.html however we think it's a great idea to make one for replacing Deck Hatch gaskets too! We'll get that started! 😁

@@MarineDepotDirect Thank you so much I will check out the link

Hey there Dan! We're so glad it was helpful to you!

Hello there! As with a lot of things in the boating industry, not all Bayliner platforms have the same mounting area. The best way to find if something will work for your unique application is to find the area you have available and then compare it to the ladders we have carry at www.marinedepotdirect.com :-) If you need assistance, one of our friendly Customer Support Specialists will be more than happy to chat with you!

Hey Brad! All of our ladders hold up to 400lbs and are compliant with ABYC Standards

The previous gasket in this video was actually glued in with silicone! It definitely took some elbow grease, but making sure it's all taken out as much as possible before replacing it can really help the next gasket bed tightly! Acetone and a good tool can help the process, as well as pulling the gasket as shown 😁

Absolutely! All orders ship next business day (same day if ordered before 11am PST) and we work closely with White Water Marine Hardware, the manufacturer of many stainless steel products installed on boats today! Feel free to give us a call with any questions and our friendly customer service team will be more than happy to assist you!

Steve's a crazy guy 😂😂 He says he loves that he made you laugh! We do have plastic clips 😀 You can check them all out here: www.marinedepotdirect.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=clip Feel free to give us a call or email if you need assistance!

Hi there Steve! Yes, it's very uncommon for a thru-hull to have a diameter of 1-1/8", I can't say that we see too many of them, and we don't currently carry any. The ones we carry with scuppers are all either 1.5" or 2". We're sorry we can't be of more help, but I'm sure they're out there! And if it becomes too much of a hassle, there's also the option of expanding your mounting hole to fit a more readily available option.

Hello Ed! Thank you for your comment! Just to clarify, these are Man Ship portlights. Man Ship portlights are 316 fabricated/formed stainless (not aluminum or stamped stainless), so the construction and gasket installation are quite different. This installation method is consistent with the original production Man Ship uses and we've found it to be exceedingly effective! It does require bedding the gasket with marine grade silicone. All of our portlights are manufactured to ABYC standards and have CE approval according to ISO/DIS 12216. 😁

Hey there! Great question! You would apply the sealant to the outside, but we do not recommend intentionally sealing the inside unless the fitting is to be submerged in bilge water. It's common to be a little "sloppy" when applying the sealant to the outside so just a little gets on the threads 😄

Great question, Tim! That depends more on your swim step than the ladder 😁 As long as there is enough space on the swim step for the ladder to properly mount, and it's strong enough to take the added constant weight of the pontoon ladder, there shouldn't be a problem!

Hi Walt! Yes, this is the proper way to install gasket. We (and Steve) made sure to check with Manship and all appropriate resources before installation. Installing gasket the opposite way may actually cause weakness and a looser seal overall, as well as less water tightness when the portlight is dogged down.

Hey there Howard! All of our ladders are rated to 400lbs. That includes all 304 and 316 grade ladders 😁

Hey Ted! Great question! We've actually had customers use our B00365 model ladder on the bow of their boats, but they have modified the standoffs to reach their hull. We're actually working with our engineer and product development teams on creating a ladder specifically for this purpose! We'll actually talk with them and make a whole video about this topic. It really is something that's hard to find from manufacturers on the market today!

We're thrilled you found this helpful! Our goal is to help you find the ladder that best suits you and your boat. If you have any questions at all when you're ready to purchase, feel free to give us a call at 855.215.4211 and anyone here will be more than happy to help 😁 ⚓
