Larry:
I recently mounted such a ladder on my M15. I cut out the cockpit
locker on the starboard side and could just reach the inside of transom
from there. I made a stainless steel mounting plate for the inside of
the transom, silver soldered the bolts to it, pushed them through the
holes I drilled through the transom, and mounted the ladder (I didn't
need anyone to hold the bolts while tightening the nuts). I used the
folding platform ladder, model 380140 on page 755 of the 2005 West
Marine catalog, and mounted it low enough to get my foot on the upper
rung as it hung just below the bottom of the transom.

Everyone, I am trying to find the best way to mount a transom ladder

M-15. It will go on the the starboard side of course but how do get
to the
inside to create proper support with plate aluminum or high quality
plywood
that is covered with epoxy and glasscloth? Is this a factory install
only?
Thanks all. ----Larry

Tom:
My bilge pump is located in the side of the footwell in the cockpit,
but on
the aft side near the motor cutout. I don't think it was a factory
installation, but it could have been... hard to tell. At any rate I
need to
drill out the pop rivets, add new compound, and reseal with bolts.
Thanks

Brian, our M17 came with a manual bilge pump as well, and I believe it
is a Whale. I called about rebuilding mine and was given some
information which I will have to re-locate. Is your pump mounted in
the cockpit at the bridge deck? t
