Hi, mine is a three-step ladder with no hoop mounted on the port stern. All thats attatching mine is 4 ss screws into the transom and are about 1" long. Using 3m 4000 fast cure to seal the flanges and screws. Your hoop would benifit from a thru bolt and using a fender washer and a ny-lock nut to secure it. Alot of force will be placed on the hoop when trying to board the boat. Screws will be ok on the flanges for the steps as the only force on them will be in sheer, when boarding
