msd58 That looks like the hot set up. Windline seems to make the best stuff out there and I have seen that ladder but didn't know if it would tend to curl underneath the boat since it has no stand offs and a pretty wide hook at the top. Does it stay where you need it while boarding?

It comes with stand offs. You can place them were you need them. I use the ladder at mid ships between the side rail and the bow rails. Basicly right at the center console area. Works fine.

I thank you for that info. There is no substitute for first hand experience. That's the beauty of these message boards. The placement of the ladder where you described would also preclude one from taking off with the ladder still out. I'm sold. It's my next purchase. Happy Holidays

Re: auto choke-cold start prob 90 hp yamaha

I recently brought my Yamaha C90 to get serviced for spring. One of the things I told the guy was that cold starting is difficult at times. (Once its warmed it start when you just bump the key)<br />He told me the procedure for cold starting: Before backing boat down the ramp turn key to "on" position (do not try to start), pump primer bulb, lower engine into water, quickly turn key to "off" position then try starting. He said this solves most colding starting issues. The guy service alot of commercial Yamahas
