plastic companionway ladder feet caps

Post by LONGHAWK »

Simple question but ....
I need to find replacement plastic feet for the bottom of the companionway ladder. Anyone found a direct / available cap?

Also, what are folks using on the stern ladder feet?

Hi Sam,

I replaced my stern ladder feet with rubber feet from Home Depot. They fit well and were inexpensive. Only a couple of dollars, IRC. I bought a few extra just in case. I think they were 1" in diameter. But you had best measure to make sure.

I would guess that Home Depot would have the other feet as well.

I too use the ones from Home Depot. I put washers or quarters in the bottom, and then some silicon caulking to keep them in place. The washers spread the load, and keep the steel from cutting through.

Solid feet

Interesting, mine are welded solid on the bottom. No need for washers.
