RE: M_Boats: Re: montgomery_boats Digest, Vol 29, Issue 6
Everyone, I am trying to find the best way to mount a transom ladder on my M-15. It will go on the the starboard side of course but how do get to the inside to create proper support with plate aluminum or high quality plywood that is covered with epoxy and glasscloth? Is this a factory install only? Thanks all. ----Larry -----Original Message----- From: Brian Gilbert [mailto:hammerguy@mindspring.com] Sent: Sunday, July 10, 2005 5:28 PM To: montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com Subject: M_Boats: Re: montgomery_boats Digest, Vol 29, Issue 6 Tom: My bilge pump is located in the side of the footwell in the cockpit, but on the aft side near the motor cutout. I don't think it was a factory installation, but it could have been... hard to tell. At any rate I need to drill out the pop rivets, add new compound, and reseal with bolts.

Brian, our M17 came with a manual bilge pump as well, and I believe it is a Whale. I called about rebuilding mine and was given some information which I will have to re-locate. Is your pump mounted in the cockpit at the bridge deck? t

Larry: I recently mounted such a ladder on my M15. I cut out the cockpit locker on the starboard side and could just reach the inside of transom from there. I made a stainless steel mounting plate for the inside of the transom, silver soldered the bolts to it, pushed them through the holes I drilled through the transom, and mounted the ladder (I didn't need anyone to hold the bolts while tightening the nuts). I used the folding platform ladder, model 380140 on page 755 of the 2005 West Marine catalog, and mounted it low enough to get my foot on the upper rung as it hung just below the bottom of the transom. --Gary Hyde N24 'Sailabration' M15 #235 'Vanilla' On Jul 11, 2005, at 10:20 AM, Hughston, Larry wrote:
