    Ranger 27 Swim Ladder

    Hello, Is the swim ladder screwed in or bolted to the swim platform? Mine needs to be replaced, it is very rusty, and I am wondering if I need to access the top of the swim platform under the raptor deck to get at nuts for bolts? Thank you Colin Walsh

    I have the Bimini for the aft cockpit off for repair. Do you have any tips for reinstalling it easily (i.e. without trying to stretch it manually)? There appear to be small screws on some of frame parts. Are these to adjust tension in the frame? If so which ones do I adjust? Thanks in advance.
