Seeing this on a boat on eBay reminded me, both my 225 did this, and my 268 is starting to also. Both of mine have been strictly freshwater boats. Whats the fix?

I believe originally it was powder coated, mine is doing the same. |

Is it powder coated or Plastic/Nylon coated? My ladder (old 98 boat) was Nylon coated and the UV had made it brittle, once cracks appear water gets under and corrosion pushes it off. I shot blasted the ladder, etched primed and powder coated with a full polyester powder (not epoxy powder) this was three years ago and it still looks as good now as when I did it. I am fortunate to have a powder coating plant at my works, but there may be one near you. |

The original ladder on my H260 is peeling the same as yours. I bought a replacement off of ebay but in the end it is not much better after one season of use. I was thinking of having it anodized with a clear finish but may just have it powder coated. I'm going to adapt the second one to the 245 since I like the extra deep reach. |

As I am considering this fix. as in hinged areas - Thanks |

As I am considering this fix. as in hinged areas - Thanks There are nylon spacers on the hinge areas on my ladders, so the powder coating is never in contact with other powder coated surfaces, so no problems. As I said earlier, make sure you use a full polyester powder as epoxy powders are only suitable for indoor use. |

I'm hoping the step pads just bolt on/off? I've got quite a few powder coating shops here locally. I was going to have them recoat the table mount in the cockpit as doesn't look brand spanking new anymore, I guess I can take this at the same time. |

I believe the step pads on the ladder pictured are riveted on. It probably wouldn't be that hard to drill them out and replace with screws though. |

The step pads on my 2004 ladder are just clipped on; the later (larger) step pads are mechanically attached. Graham |
