It's always hard for me to get up into the boat when it's out of the water and these steps make it so much easier! When I first got it on the trailer, I was thinking the angle of the bar was useless, but after using it today, I found it helps a lot when I'm climbing back out of the boat. I only took off a star because installation was a little tricky because it was hard lining up the holes and if it wasn't lined up perfectly, the bolts wouldn't go in. Also, it was missing 8 screws. I had to use my own nuts and bolts.. Joy. Mims, FL. Sat, 07 Nov 2026
