The EVAL plastic ladder catch is a handy solution for securely holding a boarding or swim ladder in place on your boat. Made from durable plastic that resists UV rays and saltwater, this bracket is built for marine use – it won’t corrode and remains robust under harsh weather conditions. It is designed to clamp around round ladder tubes 22 to 25 mm in diameter, making it compatible with almost all standard removable or folding ladders used on boats, yachts, and RIBs.
Installation of the ladder catch is straightforward – typically mounted on the transom platform, gunwale, or any convenient surface using screws. Once installed, attaching the ladder is as simple as pressing it into the catch. The bracket’s clip design firmly grips the ladder, holding it securely in place with a satisfying snap. This allows quick deployment and stowage of the ladder without tools, while ensuring that during boarding, disembarking, or when motoring through waves, the ladder won’t come loose unexpectedly.
By using this accessory, you eliminate annoying rattles and potential damage – the catch holds the ladder snugly, preventing it from banging against the hull when the boat is moving. Safety and convenience are key benefits: the crew can climb aboard with confidence knowing the ladder is solidly secured. When the ladder is not needed, it can be easily detached and stowed, and the low-profile bracket remains unobtrusively mounted on the boat.
Available in two colors – grey and white – you can choose the version that best matches your vessel’s color scheme. The grey model (code 00576-G) blends well with metal fittings or darker surfaces, while the white model (code 00576-W) is ideal for white fiberglass decks and rails. Recommendation: Use two catches (one for each side of a two-railed ladder) for maximum stability if your ladder has dual support poles. This product is especially useful for small to mid-sized boats (approximately 3–8 m long) where ladders are often removed for storage. It ensures your ladder stays put when in use and can be quickly released when it’s time to pull it out of the water.
