Ladder Strap?

[DeadlyFrog]

Does anyone know where I could get the little black strap that holds the stern ladder in the stow position?

I just replaced mine, got it off of eBay for 12 bucks.

Bought a bag of these off of Amazon, one of the most appreciated "mods" done on my boats. My kids now don't ask "can you please put the ladder down for me" . Takes literally 10 seconds to "install", and works awesome.

I usually buy from Yamaha sports plaza (part 16, $10ish) but if you are not buying several items shipping will be expensive. For example, I bought a ladder rung cover from them once for $7, they charged me $8 to ship it to me.

Consider going straight to the oem, windline instead. If you call them they may send it to you for free.

The loop and ball bungee cords that @Derek Fosbury referenced can be found at Home Depot / lowes in smaller bundles or kits, I don't know how to secure it to the boat though, maybe by using a washer or loop with the stock mounting screw/mounting location.

you don't have to secure it per se, you just loop it through itself around the bar that the OEM strap is mounted to, and it stays. I'll try and grab a photo of it later on today.

I've used an 8 inch bungee strap on the boat for the last five years works really well.

I replaced with the factory one. The 2nd one last lasted a lot longer, but it was very difficult to use (ie the wife and kids couldn't pull it) the first few months til it got broken in a bit.

i bought mine on eBay from this guy.
