If I understand you correctly the difference from the water to the basking spot is 5 inches and the caiman is 4ft. No problem whatsoever, he will climb that without any hesitation. The only problem see is if the overhang doesn't allow him to gain a good foothold.
I once had an 8ft alligator scale a 5.5ft fence. He leveraged himself over. Needless to say I was abit taken back.
