The two-step ladder attaches to the inside of the coaming using stainless steel Shur-loc catches, which are included with the unit, so it mounts directly to the boat's existing cockpit structure without additional fasteners to source. Each step is varnished oak with traction grooves cut into the tread surface, giving a secure, slip-resistant footing even when the deck is wet. The uprights supporting the steps are 1 inch anodized aluminum, paired with stamped support brackets, for a frame that resists corrosion in a marine environment while keeping the unit lightweight. At 28 inches high, 16 inches wide, and 5.5 inches deep, the steps are sized to fit standard cockpit coamings without protruding excessively into walkway space. The combination of a durable aluminum frame and a warm oak step surface gives the ladder a finished look that matches the wood accents found on many cruiser interiors and cockpits, rather than a purely utilitarian aluminum or plastic appearance. Because the Shur-loc catches are a quick-release mounting system, the steps can be removed when not needed and reattached without tools. The Garelick 25028 is built for boaters who need a reliable, repeatable way to board or exit the cockpit area and want hardware that is easy to install and maintain over time.\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 25028\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cockpit Steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Steps:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anodized aluminum uprights, oak wood steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Varnished oak steps, anodized aluminum uprights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Attaches to inside of coaming with stainless steel Shur-loc catches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel Shur-loc catches (76000)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 038203250281\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many steps does the Garelick 25028 cockpit ladder have?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Garelick 25028 Oak Cockpit Steps is a 2-step unit, measuring 28 inches high, 16 inches wide, and 5.5 inches deep.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the Garelick 25028 mount to the boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e It attaches to the inside of the cockpit coaming using stainless steel Shur-loc catches, which are included with the steps for a quick-release, tool-free installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material are the steps made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e The tread steps are varnished oak with traction grooves for grip, supported by 1 inch anodized aluminum uprights and stamped support brackets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Garelick 25028 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Garelick 25028 Oak Cockpit Steps weighs 8 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the steps be removed when not in use?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, because the Garelick 25028 mounts with Shur-loc catches, a quick-release system that lets the steps be taken off and reattached without tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat boats is the Garelick 25028 designed for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is designed for stepping up or down from the cockpit on all types of cruisers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the traction grooves only on the top step or both steps?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both oak treads on the Garelick 25028 are traction grooved for slip resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included with the Garelick 25028 cockpit steps?\u003c\/strong\u003e The unit ships with the oak step assembly and the stainless steel Shur-loc mounting catches (part 76000) needed to attach it to the coaming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the aluminum uprights corrode in a marine environment?\u003c\/strong\u003e The uprights on the Garelick 25028 are anodized aluminum, a finish chosen specifically to resist corrosion in marine use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the exact dimensions of the Garelick 25028?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Garelick 25028 Oak Cockpit Steps measures 28 inches high by 16 inches wide by 5.5 inches deep.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garelick","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49027991437531,"sku":"GAR-25028","price":365.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/gar-25028_lg__75808.1558174951.500.750.jpg?v=1785164276","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/garelick-25028-28-inch-oak-cockpit-steps-2-step-boat-boarding-ladder","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
