thank you very much
Can it be secured along the back of the transom an deploy sideways to the side finger of the dock instead of deploying aft to the dock? If so, maybe a telescopic articulation can work. The main portion could be rigidly attached to the transom and the telescopic section can be pulled out like an extension ladder. pivoting at the gunwale to accommodate varying dock heights.
