    The ladder I have is the Emergency Ladder #6007 available from Best Marine Imports www.bestmarineimports.com, phone 888 784-8611 or 954 665-8782, bemarine@bellsouth.net[/email]

    Their catalog has a full page on the boarding ladder with pictures (perhaps their website does too).

    As for the "dead man" shut down on the outboard, they all have a lanyard that when it is pulled the motor stops. The problem is that a) I dont want to wander around the deck with a line attached to me from the motor, and b) it could be perhaps worse if the motor was either accidentally turned off, or, because of the dead man being activated without my knowledge, the motor wouldn't start.

    Were you talking about the standard issue dead man line, or something else?
