I have twins and that makes it really hard to get in over the back....so I made a side mount using a fish pole holder and it hooks on when needed so you can board near the cabin.....gives you a hand hold off the cabin...just perfect for divers...check in my pictures for it....great side mount ladder....single post 4 steps...
I copied the design made by Roger King aboard the ole Fishtales....now salvaged and gone...I think he is using it aboard Fish Halk
