ABSTRACT:
Ladders for the transoms of boats having stern platforms thereon include a fixed upper unit and a pivoted lower unit. The upper unit has a pair of tubular brackets fastened to the stern platform with portions that depend below the platform. The lower unit has a tubular member formed with a central section and two integral, parallel and identical end sections. The end sections are spaced apart approximately the distance between the upper unit brackets and planking extends between them forming one or more steps. The end sections of the lower unit are hinged to the upper unit brackets so the lower unit may be moved between a raised position where the step is positioned above a stern platform and a lowered position where the step or steps are positioned below and astern of the platform. In one embodiment, the upper unit has posts that serve to engage legs of the end sections when the lower unit is in the lowered position to limit its downward movement.
