The platform is made of durable HDPE (high-density polyethylene) in gray, which resists weathering and is easy to clean after a day on the water. It mounts at a 10 degree angle on the transom for use on outboard transoms specifically, keeping the platform clear of the motor's swing range once the correct mounting side is selected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe platform includes one stainless steel wrap around rail and one stainless steel underside support rail, both 1 inch in diameter, and both reversible so the handrail can be installed on whichever side of the platform best clears the outboard's full turning extension. All mounting hardware is stainless steel. The platform is pre-drilled for straightforward assembly, and Garelick provides documented assembly and installation instructions covering strut mounting, transom-side selection, drilling, and use of a marine grade adhesive\/caulking compound at the mounting points. Garelick recommends a backing plate on transoms under 2 inches thick, made of aluminum, marine plywood, or another non-compressive material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Garelick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19535\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Outboard swim platform with fold down ladder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlatform Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e HDPE (high-density polyethylene)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRail Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRail Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 inch (3 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRail Configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e One wrap around rail, one underside support rail, reversible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 degrees on transom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.75 inches wide x 19.25 inches high\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e Outboard swim platform, 1-step fold down ladder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFasteners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not included (mounting fasteners must be selected separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use on outboard transoms only.
