I know this is probably a common installation, but concerned because of the placement. I have a fresh water bait-well on same side as where mounted holes would be drilled?
Also, besides using stainless steel bolts in mounting bracket, was thinking of using plastic washers, inside and out.
Since I'm a little hesitant about drilling holes in my hull, going to have this professional installed.
Thoughts appreciated !

I echo the recommendation for a longer (deeper) ladder. The ladder on a boat I chartered in the BVI had two rungs. We could not get aboard with it. Fortunately we had a dinghy ladder I brought with us. We used it to get into the dinghy and then climbed from the dinghy to the boat.
The other lesson from that experience is make sure there is a solid handhold to grab on to.
