Bolt through the holl, the back plate they gave me was I though to small for strength so I put in a larger one. I also cut the angle on the rubber piece to have the ladder rest against a step on my hull.

It doesn't have a ladder. It's only about 3 feet, or less, off of the ground. Easy to get onto

Our ladder is on a floating dock in a lake so the depth of the ladder in the water is always the same. We have the 4 step ladder and it does provide easier access.

I have a 28 foot Werner aluminum ladder and the installation was easy. I recall the instructions called for cutting off the bottom the ladder. I did not want to do this and it is not necessary. Found the installation without cutting works great. I think the lever is super and makes the latter safer to use.

I'm not sure what the directions say, but ladders should be 1' out for each 4' up. This is OSHA's standard.

I do remember in the instructions it telling me that you could do that and showed you how. However i can't find my instructions now but it can be done. I put them on my pool and its screwed down to the deck and its very sturdy. I have to say its the best stairs i ever bought.

The distance from your deck/dock to the water line would have some influence but generally I would go with a 4 step over a 3, and a 5 step over a 4. The longer the ladder, the easier it is generally to get out of the water....especially for adults.

It was easy for me. I needed to make a "stand off" piece of marine plastic board to move the ladder away from my transom. I then simple thru bolted through the trash me and used 5200 caulk to seal and help secure. Took less than 30 mons. Used only stainless bolts nuts and fender wagers. Since almost every tar some angles towards the water, your support must be thick enough that the ladder is easy to climb. Mine came out perfect and is a really great ladder for the price. Remember to place the spport and bracket where the bottom step does not require a giant step to use. Easy easy. Let me know if this helps

Our boats are much smaller so I don't have an answer to your question. I did find that I had to put a rope along the bottom of the boat to connect the two black straps so they wouldn't slide off the boat when I was raising them.

It depends on how much of the ladder is actually under water. I would recommend a minimum three steps under water for ease of getting out.

There is a vertical support to connect the center post of the bike. Connect to the ladder on the other end. Velcro ties from Amazon work well

It is 23" to the second step. I use it on a 18" aluminum Tracker Grizzly jon boat. I find that the spacing legs hit the boat but are to short to keep the ladder straight upright because the boat sides are at an angle. What I do that works quite well is put my bag with the life jackets in between the ladder and the boat as a spacer so that the ladder does not tilt inwards towards the angle of the boat with your weight on it.

I have a fiberglass bass boat that we use this ladder for. We hook it on the side where the resting pads touch the side of the boat and it works just fine. When we are done playing I fold it up and put it under the seat. Just make sure you have a skinny area on the boat where the hooks will fit over it

Going to this URL at Werner may help you to get started. Here is the URL for the installation instructions. http://www.wernerco.com/docs/us/userguides/aa1510.pdf?Status=Master&sfvrsn;=2 On page (URL) there is a general installation video http://www.wernerco.com/us/view/Products/Climbing-Equipment/Attic-Ladders/AA/AA1510 I installed two of these (one in my house and one in my work studio).

the last part of the ladder is made with 3 to 4 hole to adjust the heigh to make it shorter or longer should work

Put a flat plate underside of ladder for added support at the ladder loops use stainless bolts long enough to use the plate underside of the floor

Take the top bracket pulley assembly and put it on the floor now take the bottom pulley with the hooks and place the pulleys together with the hooks to the bottom. That represents how high you can pull the system together. The variables are how tight you make the straps that go around your boat and if your boat has any deck protrusions that stick up. Typically my boats are at ceiling height minus the distance from the top bracket to the bottom of the hooks. I keep the straps very tight which allows me to pull the boat tightly against the ceiling.
