My friend had that problem and tied mono filament line from the stern to 2 pieces of PVC he had on the platform. No ducks, not unsightly mess!

Bird b gone metal spider
They come up to 8’ diameter

Had seagulls all over my bow and hardtop. Made an asbolute mess. Bought 2 of these spiders

Works immediately

As soon as I walked away birds tried to land and flared away. Zero mess now

Around here we use plastic snakes: leave them sunning on the 'duck board' and ducks-be-gone. Plastic alligators work too, used around or in swimming pools. $2.

We have recently had great success, first with swallows/swifts (?} perching on a lifeline; and, this week, with a family of Indian Miners (?) on steps leading to our dock. It appears birds get into habits of frequenting particularly suitable places. If you can break that habit, they seem to be happy to find elsewhere. We achieved that by stringing-up a few lines of nylon fishing line across the area. This was easy with the lifeline problem but with the steps has been a bit of a nuisance for the past few days, and required a bit of care ........but it has worked!!! We hope it is a more or less permanent solution. We will remove the line soon. Eddie

Use your boat more. Ducks can roost on your swim step if you are out cruising.
