Any recommendations for a swim ladder? Got a used Cobalt R5 and we use the boat in saltwater during weekends and we need something that will hold up fine and is not a risk for corrosion. Thank you!
 
For saltwater use, go with a 316 stainless steel telescoping ladder, it's built to resist corrosion and holds up well over time. The Amarine Made models are good picks with wide steps and easy mounting. Just rinse after each trip to keep it looking sharp!
 
Check out Garelick 314 series, its built with saltwater in mind, super sturdy and folds away nicely. It holds up great , especially if you rinse it after use, and the wide steps make reboarding easier too.

My 2007 Cobalt 252's ladder's seen better days and I'm definitely looking into 316 stainless now. Have you tried any other brands besides Amarine Made? Curious how they compare for grip and mounting strength.
