The platform surface is made of durable HDPE for a virtually maintenance-free deck that resists the elements, while the support arms are 1 inch diameter Stainless Steel 316 for corrosion resistance in marine environments. The underside supports are also stainless steel, adding structural strength where the platform bears the most load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis platform is rated for a 300 pound load capacity, making it suitable for swimmers climbing aboard from the water. The telescoping ladder design allows the unit to extend for use and retract for stowage, with a deployed length of 23 inches and a stowed length of 13.5 inches. The platform measures 18 inches by 15.5 inches, with a maximum height of 24 inches. It is finished in white to blend with most boat exteriors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation hardware is not included, so mounting hardware should be sourced separately based on the boat's transom configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e JIF Marine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e EKT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel \u0026amp; HDPE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoad Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlatform Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 inches x 15.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeployed Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStowed Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArm Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 inch, Stainless Steel 316\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnderside Supports:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 670541249260\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the load capacity of the JIF Marine EKT swim platform?\u003c\/strong\u003e The JIF Marine EKT swim platform is rated for a 300 pound load capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the platform made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The deck is made of durable HDPE, and the support arms are 1 inch diameter Stainless Steel 316 with stainless steel underside supports for corrosion resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the EKT platform have a ladder?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the JIF Marine EKT includes a telescoping ladder built into the platform so swimmers can climb aboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is the JIF Marine EKT platform?\u003c\/strong\u003e The platform measures 18 inches by 15.5 inches, with a maximum height of 24 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the deployed and stowed length?\u003c\/strong\u003e The EKT platform extends to 23 inches when deployed and retracts to 13.5 inches when stowed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the platform come with mounting hardware?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, installation hardware is not included with the JIF Marine EKT and must be sourced separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the EKT platform weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The JIF Marine EKT swim platform weighs 16 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the JIF Marine EKT platform?\u003c\/strong\u003e The EKT platform is finished in white.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the JIF Marine EKT platform easy to maintain?\u003c\/strong\u003e The HDPE platform surface is virtually maintenance free, and the stainless steel arms and supports resist corrosion in marine use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of boats is the EKT platform designed for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The JIF Marine EKT is an I\/O style swim platform intended for mounting to a boat's transom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the support arms stainless steel?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the EKT platform's arms are 1 inch diameter Stainless Steel 316, and the underside supports are also stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JIF Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49025246593243,"sku":"JIF-EKT","price":274.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/Untitled-1__68698.1763741557.500.750.jpg?v=1785164418","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/jif-marine-ekt-i-o-swim-platform-with-telescoping-ladder-300-pound-capacity","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
