1992 transom swim ladder to gate modification

[Billyrap]

Hi I am new to the forum and have a 1992 Cat 34 with a walk through transom. this season I have moved to a dock and the swim ladder would serve me better as a gate-I saw a post where this was discussed and am looking to see how other members have tackled this project so any insight would be greatly appreciated.

It might be easier to just get removable pins for the pivot.  When you are at the dock, pull the pins and remove the ladder.  I haven't heard of an easy way to make the ladder into a gate while still keeping it a swim ladder.
