It mounts at a 10 degree angle on the transom and is supported by two 1 inch diameter stainless steel wrap around rails, giving swimmers and divers a stable, easy-to-clean surface for getting in and out of the water. The platform measures 18 inches wide x 15.5 inches deep x 1.5 inches thick, with the stainless rails standing 12.5 inches above the platform surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA one-step fold down ladder, measuring 13 inches long x 14.5 inches wide, stows against the platform when not in use and folds down for easy boarding. All stainless steel mounting hardware is included, and installation involves bolting the hand rails to the platform, then mounting the 22 inch and 11 inch stainless steel struts to the transom at the side offering the most clearance from the motor unit's full turning radius. If the transom is less than 2 inches thick, a backing plate made of aluminum, marine plywood, or another non-compressive material is recommended behind the mounting points. Regular fresh water rinsing and periodic cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner will help the platform and rails 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 19545\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyethylene platform with stainless steel rails and hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlatform Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 inches wide x 15.5 inches deep x 1.5 inches thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRail Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRail Height Above Platform:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLadder Steps:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 step, fold down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLadder Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13 inches long x 14.5 inches wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel mounting hardware included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 038203195452\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDesigned for use on inboard\/outboard (I\/O) boat transoms\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the Garelick 19545 and the Garelick 19546 swim platform?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Garelick 19545 has a one-step fold down ladder (13 inches long x 14.5 inches wide), while the 19546 uses a telescoping 2-step ladder instead.
