Does anyone know of a source for the end caps for the fold down transom ladder? Can't seem to find them anywhere. Thanks.

Walmart
Walmart has two kinds the thick rubber ones and the ones I purchased which are thinner plactic types in white.

Yup, chair tips
I bought mine at Home Depot. Easy and inexpensive (unusual for a sailboat!). Best, Trevor

washers
Steve to keep the caps from wearing out from the inside from the s/s pipe ends put a fender washer that is the same size as your s/s ladder ends (1") ? into each rubber end cap.

UV Protection?
I have a problem with UV deterioration. Has anyone found a particular type to last longer?

use sun screen
wipe some good sunscreen over the rubber/plastic it will protect it. I had some shock cord that deteriorated every summer from the sun- I rubbed it with 45spf sunscreen and it stays good as new

Sunscreen is a great idea!
the rubber ones seem to last longer than the plastic and they fit better too.
