Boat trailer steps

[Gator_Bait]

Has anyone put a set of steps on their trailer? I have a 2012 Tracker 175TF. How do you like them? do they really help getting in and out, especially when loading it on the trailer?

 

I think the picture is Trick Step, but I think there are several companies that make them.

I just installed a trailer ladder last week. Bow Step . Com , they fold up and you can lock secure them with a lock.a much needed tool for the future of my fishing.

Quality Mark bow step it is

Just ordered from trickstep - think it was like $720 including shipping for a 4 step. Note - they do customize these things if you want but due to covid, backlog is around 2-3 months.

I put Ezee-Step on 2 years ago... awesome for loading boat and much safer.  They custom fit it for your boat.  They walk you through how to measure to custom fit your boat by phone, then they make it and it shows up at your door step.  Easy installation. Slick deal...

I had the same question. Some discussion here:

I got a Bow Step this spring.  I looked at several different brands, went with the Bow Step because (a) it was marketed through Bass Pro and I had a gift certificate and (b) they offered free shipping.

It is easy to install and the fold up and out of the way feature is nice.   The ladder does have a modest amount of flex in it, believe me the first time you use it combined with the additional flex of being in the water on your trailer, it is going to feel a little weird.   However - the ladder is rated to 350 pounds and as you learn to trust it, it gets easier every time you get on or off.   I don't know why boat manufacturers don't make some kind of product like this standard on every boat & trailer package sold.  It is that handy.
