The platform is molded from durable, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and comes pre-drilled to simplify assembly, measuring 18 inches wide by 15.5 inches deep by 0.75 inches thick. It mounts at a 10 degree angle on the transom for a secure, water-shedding fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA stainless steel wraparound handrail and a stainless steel underside support rail are included, each 1 inch in diameter, and both are reversible so the handrail can be positioned on whichever side of the platform suits the boat layout best. Overall height with the rail installed is 5 inches and overall width is 13.5 inches, with the rail standing 12.5 inches above the platform surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe attached 2-step telescoping ladder deploys to 22.75 inches in length and telescopes down for use, then slides up and over the platform for compact stowage at 17 inches.
