Very amateur job by PO. Looks like he or she purchased and mounted the stern ladder, then cut the stern pulpit and jury-rigged the rest. It might be dangerous to rely on.
Your wire gate idea is a good one. That’s what I currently have, which was built into the stern pulpit. I suggest contacting White Water Marine ( https://www.whitewatermarineinc.com/ ). Show them the photos and see what they suggest.

The gate is constantly coming undone and is a liability. Here are some photos: Gate <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fRcKebayCNvEiDFVWWjbdfrt_4wcxdK-/view?usp=sharing> Hinge <https://drive.google.com/open?id=1fV6FmLL-ppL3BEcSUG7pSUTCedL6-eF_&authuser=andrew%40transom.design&usp=drive_fs> Latch? <https://drive.google.com/open?id=1fXCmVrk_9rxlFYqObzWMqXiQb0JX-wCI&authuser=andrew%40transom.design&usp=drive_fs> The clumsily attached hinge and “latch” that isn’t really a latch make me think it was added with the stern ladder. I want to replace it with something like a wire gate, but I can't find the right fittings. This photo <https://drive.google.com/open?id=1fSeoacTbteuikJRY6Zl312LxYeLf9PIP&authuser=andrew%40transom.design&usp=drive_fs> for a reference of what I was thinking for the bar ends (which I would then attach a traditional wire gate to) but I wanted to get other folks’ opinions and see how they did it. How have other folks solved this issue? Andrew
