    Trailer Step

    Getting older so getting in and out of the boat is a b$tch! Any pictures or recommendations of a trailer step for a 2005 Boatmate trailer? Thanks, guys!

    I wish I could find just a platform to stand on and attach to trailer near winch. I don’t need a handle but just something wider then trailer. Balancing on 4” sucks

    That handle allows me to hook the boat up to the trailer winch in the winter. Hole handle with left hand while I reach under and hook up with right hand. Many of our ramps have the back of the truck in the water to launch.

    I built a platform out of heavy alum angle bolted to the trailer frame and 1/4" alum plate bolted to the angle. A friend made his out of steel angle and steel diamond plate.
