So one of the major pains with my 2010 has been the ladder. It has always just seemed a little hard to get up. You have to shake it, apply pressure to push it in. After my Norris trip, it seems to not want to be pushed in all the way, it is catching about half-way in on the underside of the boat. Almost like it was bent. But I have taken a ruler to it, and it is still straight. What it looks like, is the 2 brackets which attach it to the boat may have bent to be more perpendicular to the boat, and so the angle it is being pushed in isn't correct. Nobody using it has been over 180lbs.

Anyone else have trouble with the ladder?

I will say our ladder is tough to push in on our 210 Wake. It takes the same jarring side-to-side in effort to get it to push all the way in. It has been that way since the day we picked it up from the dealer.

My 2006 is the same and always has been.

Where did you go at Norris? I love that lake. It is where we go a couple times a year.

We left out of Cedar Grove Marina and tied up just to the west of 33. It was a blast.

I have the same complaint for my ladder.

My 2006 Challenger 180 ladder is the same the right side always gets stuck and it takes a lot of side to side pressure and jostling to get it in all the way.

I've always had the same problem, but now since my boat was rear-ended by a minivan, the bracket is bent and I cannot find a replacement. I can have reverse or a ladder.

same problem

when that happens

just pull the ladder upwards with a little bit of force

and then try and push it back in

I'm thinking something must be a little bent or out of alignment. The ladder on my 2009 has always worked without much effort at all. My skinny 10 year old son even puts the ladder away, reaching down from the back deck.

 

Or, maybe mine's more loose because I forget it sometimes and run full blast with the ladder out. lol

Mine is ok...I think your ladder must be a little bent
