The Replacement Pivoting Ladder Bracket is a side-specific service part for compatible ShoreMaster ladder assemblies. The left and right brackets are mirror-image components, so the correct option must be selected before ordering. ShoreMaster instructions show these parts on the Bolt-On Pivoting Dock Ladder and on the ShoreMaster swim-raft ladder mounting assembly.
A Precise Replacement for the Correct Ladder System
Choose Left or Right
Part 1001778 is the left pivot and part 1001779 is the right pivot. Each option is sold individually.
Restores the Pivot Point
The bracket supports the ladder frame at the dock or raft edge so the assembly can move between usable and stored positions.
Fits Select ShoreMaster Assemblies
The parts are documented for the bolt-on pivoting ladder and compatible ShoreMaster swim-raft ladder installations.
Prevents a Common Ordering Error
These are not the 1000932 brackets used on the standard QuickConnect Pivoting Dock Ladder.
Bracket Options
How to Confirm the Correct Side
- Identify the ladder style. Confirm that it is the direct bolt-on ladder or a ShoreMaster swim-raft ladder mount.
- Compare the existing bracket. Match its shape, hole positions and orientation to the official installation drawing.
- Use the part number when available. Do not choose left or right based only on the direction you happen to be facing the ladder.
- Inspect the opposite side. If both pivots or the ladder frame are bent or worn, replacing one bracket alone may not solve the issue.
What Is Included
Included with the Selected Option
- One left bracket - part 1001778 or
- One right bracket - part 1001779
- A ShoreMaster replacement component matched to the selected side
Not Included Unless Specifically Shown
- Opposite-side pivot bracket
- Ladder frames, treads or complete ladder assembly
- Snap pins, spacers, bolts, washers or locking nuts
- Dock reinforcement or raft mounting brace
Do Not Use These Brackets for the QuickConnect Ladder
The standard Pivoting Dock Ladder that mounts with InfinityTrack or the PolyDock Ladder Connector uses two part 1000932 pivot brackets. Parts 1001778 and 1001779 are the side-specific pivots used on the bolt-on and documented swim-raft assemblies.
If the ladder type is uncertain, send photos before ordering.
Need More Than One Bracket?
Choose this listing when the ladder itself remains serviceable and only one documented left or right pivot needs replacement.
If the frames, treads or both pivots are damaged, compare the complete Bolt-On Pivoting Dock Ladder or Swim Raft 3-Step Ladder.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the left and right brackets sold as a pair?
No. Each option is sold individually. Select part 1001778 for the left bracket or part 1001779 for the right bracket.
How do I know which side I need?
Compare the existing component and official installation drawing, ideally using the part number. Do not rely only on viewing direction because left/right orientation can be misinterpreted.
Will this fit the standard Pivoting Dock Ladder?
Not the QuickConnect-style ladder used with InfinityTrack or PolyDock connectors. That assembly uses two part 1000932 pivot brackets.
Which complete ladders use these brackets?
ShoreMaster documentation shows 1001778 and 1001779 on the 3-, 4- and 5-step Bolt-On Pivoting Dock Ladders and in the ShoreMaster swim-raft ladder mount.
Does the bracket include new snap pins and bolts?
This listing is for the selected bracket. Review the current product photos and order details, and call if the related pins, spacers or hardware also need replacement.
Need Help Identifying Left, Right or Ladder Style?
Send or call with clear photos of both pivot brackets, the ladder frame and the dock or raft mount. We can help narrow down the correct part number to review.
