Just curious as to where others stow the boarding ladder that affixes to either side of the boat near the pilothouse door.

I believe this ladder came as standard on most 53MY and perhaps other models as well. PO stowed ours in the bow anchor locker and it's a major PITA getting it in and out for use.

High water levels in the Great Lakes have forced us to use it on several occasions already this seasons and I gotta believe there's a better place to put it!
