Swim platform ladder/step

Post by Boatrover »

I think I read a thread about the pin failing on the pull out step, like I have on my 2007 272, but I can not find it. Anyway mine broke yesterday and the broken part is at the bottom of the river. I am looking for dimensions of the pin and is it just a stainless steel pin or is there a spacer that the ladder slides on.

I am still not sure what the original looked like but I did the following to fix it so I could get my step back. Drilled 2 holes and made SS pins with bushings for the step to slide on. I had to adjust one bushing from .75” diameter to 1” diameter that is the reason for the different color bushings(material I had)
