Overview
The Attwood Marine 11865-4 is a 5-step rope boarding ladder with white 11-3/4 inch blow-molded steps and a textured surface for footing when climbing back aboard. It attaches with a nylon rope and top loop that secures to a cleat or railing, making it a practical option when you need a boarding ladder that can be deployed only when needed.
The ladder uses non-anodized aluminum tubing with polyethylene steps, and it folds flat for storage once you are underway. It also includes 11 inch hooks and support legs, which help with placement and stability during boarding from the side of the boat.

Installation and fit
This ladder is best suited to boats with a solid cleat or railing point where it can be hung securely and lowered over the side. Because it is a rope-style ladder rather than a fixed-mount transom ladder, it works well as a temporary boarding aid that can be brought out for swim stops, dockside boarding, or occasional reboarding from the water.
Before use, the attachment point should let the steps hang clear so they stay reachable and easier to climb. That setup matters on boats with higher freeboard, railings, or side access points where a permanent ladder is not installed.
Use on board
This style is a good match for boaters who want a ladder they can stow flat and deploy only when needed. It suits day boats, fishing boats, and cruising boats that need a simple reboarding option without giving up permanent space to a fixed ladder.
