It's a triple-tread white polyethylene step, 35 inches long and 25 inches wide, rated to 300 pounds. A safe, no-drama way on and off the boat for the whole crew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGetting on and off the boat shouldn't be the hardest part of your day on the water. The Taylor Made StepSafe dock step gives you a stable, wide platform to close that gap between a high dock and a low cockpit, or the other way around. It's a triple-tread design molded from heavy white polyethylene, and it holds up to 300 pounds. If you've ever watched a guest do the awkward one-leg reach over the gunwale, you already know why this step earns its spot on the dock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe footprint is generous. At 35 inches long and 25 inches wide, there's room to plant both feet on a tread and steady yourself before the next move. It stands 25-1\/2 inches tall, which is the right height for boarding a lot of runabouts, pontoons, and cruisers from a fixed dock. Three treads mean you're not making one big leap. You take it a step at a time, and that matters most for kids, older guests, and anyone loading gear with both hands full. A single tall step is where people slip or twist an ankle, and three shorter treads take a lot of that risk off the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaylor Made molded this out of polyethylene for a reason. It won't rust, it won't rot, and it shrugs off salt and sun far better than a wood step ever will. The white finish stays cooler underfoot on a hot afternoon than a dark surface would. And the rounded edges do double duty. They're easier on shins and bare feet, and they're kinder to any dock lines that end up draped over the step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tread surface is where the StepSafe name comes from. Each tread carries a molded pattern that gives your deck shoes something to grip, wet or dry. That said, any dock step collects water, pollen, and a little algae over a season. We tell folks to give the treads a quick scrub with a deck brush every few weeks, and if you dock somewhere shady and damp, a couple strips of marine non-skid tape on the top tread is cheap insurance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few words on install, because this is where people get it wrong. This step is happiest bolted down. Set it where you actually step off the boat, mark your holes, and pre-drill before you drive any fasteners so the poly doesn't crack. On a wood dock, stainless lag screws into solid framing hold it fast. If you're mounting to a swim platform or a fiberglass surface, use backing plates and through-bolts, and don't count on the factory hole spacing lining up with your framing. Measure your own centers. A step that shifts under load is worse than no step at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? Anyone with a boat that sits high at the dock and a crew that isn't all young and spry. It's great for pontoons and deck boats where the deck height and the dock rarely match. It's great at a lake house where grandkids and dogs come and go all summer. It works as a boarding step, a helper getting into a truck bed, or just a solid place to set a cooler while you load. For a low-freeboard bowrider, the 25-1\/2 inch height may be taller than you need, so measure your gunwale first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's not a fancy piece of gear. It's a well-made, no-drama step from a company that's been building dock and boat hardware for decades. Bolt it down right, rinse it now and then, and it'll be there every time you need a safe way on and off the water. That's the kind of gear that quietly makes every trip to the dock a little easier, and you stop thinking about it because it just works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTriple-tread design breaks the climb into three steps for safer boarding by kids, older guests, and anyone with their hands full\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e35 in long by 25 in wide platform gives you room to plant both feet before the next move\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e25-1\/2 in overall height suits boarding many runabouts, pontoons, and cruisers from a fixed dock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e300 lb weight capacity handles an adult plus a cooler or a load of gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMolded polyethylene construction won't rust or rot and shrugs off salt and UV\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWhite finish stays cooler underfoot than dark surfaces on hot days\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRounded edges are easier on shins and bare feet and gentler on dock lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMolded StepSafe tread pattern gives deck shoes grip wet or dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePre-drillable for lag screws or through-bolts so you can anchor it to a dock or platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Taylor Made reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eHow tall is the Taylor Made StepSafe dock step?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt stands 25-1\/2 inches tall, with a footprint of 35 inches long by 25 inches wide.
