    Custom no-skid step strip/pad

    Who (if anyone) makes custom no-slip adhesive strip to install on the bow area? I want to protect this area of my bow as it's usually where I step off the bank or dock to get in. Leaning more towards the non-skid tape product versus a seadek product. Open to ideas as well. I've seen some 6-12" wide strips of non stick which I may just order and custom trip... but looking for ideas.

    Not sure what size you need but i ended up going to Lowes and they had a stick on non skid step piece for less than 10 bucks and its been on my boat for 3 yrs years no problems, Most home improvement stores have them for steps just measure size you would like and check them out .

    I used these in the stern where everybody kept putting their feet. I put them down with 4200. I found bigger sheets of this that could be cut to shape, a little googlin should get you what you need.

    On one of my boats I used 2 inch wide strips, cut and shaped to size, and it worked great. Total cost was less than 5 dollars. You can see it in the pic on the bow. It was still on there after four years when I sold the boat.

    Buy a 24”x24” (or larger) GatorSkinz step pad sheet and cut to size. I split a a 24”x48” pebble textured piece with a neighbor who needed to replace the original pads on a 2010 Skeeter. Perfect match.

    I used this product on the bow of my boat. I made a template out of poster board. It has held up extremely well for the 2 years I have had it on. I did replace mine when I updated trolling motors. I put the pad under the trolling motor mount.
