Replacing swim deck ladder

[Acewhole]

I just received a replacement ladder for the rear swim deck (2021 AR250). My ladder bracket was bent and just became to much of a pain to get in/out. I did fix the ladder with the pin as shown on other threads which helped for a while.

My question is what how this ladder attaches to the platform? Assuming it is bolted, but are there existing built in threads, or is there a bolt on the inside that will be a pain in the butt to get to? Any help prior to heading down to the lake to tackle this will be much appreciated.

On mine (different year, etc.) there were blind nuts embedded in the fiberglass. Removed 4 bolts, put the new one on, attach 4 bolts. Took me 5 min.

Pull the clean out tray and have a look down inside that area….
