Welcome aboard.

Garelick and Windline were pretty common brands used. The issue is finding out whether the one you have was a custom production for Carver or a regular production model. If it was custom, the manufacturer may still be able to reproduce it.

Can you post a picture of your current unit? Check and see if there are any markings on it noting the manufacturer.

I just ordered a Windline 4 step. If it fits perfectly, I'll have a 3 step for sale.

When we bought our boat, the Windline swimstep was rusting and the bolts looked pretty bad. But, there was a sticker on it claiming a Lifetime Warranty so I contacted Windline.

Long story short, they issued me an RMA, I shipped it back at my expense (about $40 - I just dropped it off at a UPS Store and they did everything including the packaging) and a few weeks later I had my swim ladder back and it looked like new. New hardware and all!

Not sure what brand you have, but Windline really backed up their warranty - even knowing this was not new to me and I told them I could only assume the ladder was as old as the boat - 20+ years!

Just an idea. :-D. Good luck!
