so my father dicided to surprise me with a boat warming gift-a stainless folding ladder.its has a 90 degree bend at the top with a swiveling mount made to go right into the transom
problem is i really like the look of my transom and dont want to bastardize it by drilling holes to mount a ladder.
i do however have a gate in the stern rail and am wondering if there is a sytle of ladder that would mount into the back part of the deck and clip into the stern rail.
heres a pre season photo to give you an idea of what im working with

anyone have any ideas of how to mount this thing without drilling into the transom or do i need a different syle ladder?
