Deployed


This is the usual position of my outboard when on the trolling motor, trimmed up. With ladder deployed you really don't "climb" out of the water. The ladder gives your foot purchase to push yourself out of the water and onto the rear deck much like forgive me a whale beaching itself. The ladder in conjunction with the caviation plate give a base for the left and right foot to push yourself onto the deck. The back deck of my boat is really less than a foot out of the water, so it's not like you're climbing a ladder, just a foot hold to push yourself onto the deck.


Left foot on ladder, right foot on motor, your body will pretty much float, set feet and launch your body onto the beach, er I mean deck. My trim switch is on the same side as the ladder, so I can adjust the motor angle while hanging the ladder.
