The platform itself is molded from high-density white polyethylene, chosen for its resistance to wear and its easy-clean surface, and it measures 18 inches wide x 15-1\/2 inches deep x 3\/4 inch thick. Two 1 inch diameter stainless steel wrap-around rails frame the platform, standing 12-1\/2 inches above and below it for a secure handhold entering and exiting the water. The platform mounts at a 10 degree angle on the transom, positioned to clear the outdrive's full turning range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoarding is handled by an electropolished stainless steel 2-step telescoping ladder with poly comfort steps. The ladder extends to a deployed length of 22-3\/4 inches and telescopes back up to a compact 17 inch stowed length, sliding vertically up under the platform when not in use. The complete assembly stands 5 inches overall in height and 13.5 inches wide. Stainless steel mounting hardware is included for attaching the rails and struts to the platform; transom fasteners are not included, and Garelick recommends a backing plate of aluminum, marine plywood, or similar non-compressive material if the transom is less than 2 inches thick. Regular fresh water rinsing and periodic cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner help the platform and hardware retain their finish and resist corrosion.\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 19546\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Boat Swim Platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlatform Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-density white polyethylene\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlatform Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 inches wide x 15-1\/2 inches deep x 3\/4 inch thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRail Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 inch stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRail Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-1\/2 inches above and below platform\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\u003eLadder Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Electropolished stainless steel 2-step telescoping ladder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLadder Steps:\u003c\/strong\u003e Poly comfort steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLadder Length Deployed:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22-3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLadder Length Stowed:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 038203195469\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eInboard\/outboard (I\/O) boat transoms\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of boat is the Garelick 19546 swim platform designed for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Garelick 19546 I\/O Swim Platform with Telescoping Ladder is built for use on inboard\/outboard (I\/O) transoms and mounts at a 10 degree angle to the transom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the platform?\u003c\/strong\u003e The platform on the Garelick 19546 measures 18 inches wide x 15-1\/2 inches deep x 3\/4 inch thick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 19546 swim platform weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The complete Garelick 19546 assembly weighs 14 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the platform made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e High-density white polyethylene forms the platform, framed by two 1 inch diameter stainless steel wrap-around rails.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the telescoping ladder work?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 19546 uses an electropolished stainless steel 2-step ladder with poly comfort steps that telescopes down for boarding and slides vertically up under the platform for stowage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the deployed and stowed lengths of the ladder?\u003c\/strong\u003e The ladder on the Garelick 19546 extends to 22-3\/4 inches deployed and telescopes back to a 17 inch stowed length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow tall are the handrails on this platform?\u003c\/strong\u003e The stainless steel wrap-around rails stand 12-1\/2 inches above and below the platform on the Garelick 19546.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Garelick 19546 include mounting hardware?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, stainless steel hardware is included for mounting the rails and struts to the platform;
