Lewmar JWTU200023 Boat Deck Step Pad

Enhance the safety of your boating adventures with the Lewmar Boat Deck Step Pad, a compact yet powerful solution designed for those high-traffic areas where slips are a real risk. Whether you're stepping aboard from the dock, climbing up from the swim platform, or navigating wet decks during a sudden shower, this pad delivers unwavering grip in both wet and dry conditions. Its thoughtful diamond pattern isn't just aesthetic—it's engineered to channel water away while providing multi-directional traction that feels secure underfoot, even with bare feet or boat shoes.

Precision Fit for Everyday Marine Use

Measuring precisely 10-3/4 inches in length by 5-1/4 inches in width, this white step pad slots perfectly onto narrow steps, ladder treads, or platform edges common on pontoons, center consoles, and cabin cruisers. The clean white color blends seamlessly with most deck finishes, maintaining that crisp, professional look without fading under UV exposure. Boat owners rave about how it transforms slick surfaces into confident footing zones, reducing the chance of mishaps during loading gear, towing toys, or handling lines in choppy waters.

Effortless Peel-and-Stick Installation

Setting it up couldn't be simpler—no tools, no mess, no excuses for delay. Start by thoroughly cleaning the deck surface with a mild soap solution to remove grime, salt, or old residue. Peel back the backing to expose the industrial-grade adhesive, align carefully, and press firmly for 30 seconds. For best results in humid climates, apply on a dry day and weigh it down with sandbags overnight. Within 24 hours, it's ready for action, forming a bond that withstands vibrations from outboard motors and waves pounding the hull. Pro tip: If you're retrofitting older gelcoat, lightly scuff the area first for extra bite.

Built Tough for Harsh Marine Environments

Crafted from premium marine-grade materials, this pad shrugs off constant exposure to saltwater, sun, and foot traffic. Unlike flimsy stickers that bubble or peel after a season, Lewmar's construction ensures longevity—think seasons of reliable service on fishing charters or family outings. It's versatile too, extending beyond boats to RV entry steps or trailer ramps where mud, rain, or sand create hazards. Regular rinsing with a deck brush and freshwater keeps it looking new, and it resists mildew that plagues lesser products in damp bilges or storage.

Real-World Confidence on the Water

Imagine docking at sunset with coolers in hand, kids scampering aboard, and not a single slip. Or trailering home after a day of wakesurfing, stepping up without tracking wet neoprene across the deck. This pad shines in those moments, offering peace of mind that lets you focus on the fun. Fellow skippers share stories of preventing twisted ankles on dawn patrols or during night hauls—small investment, massive safety upgrade.
