JIF Marine EKT I/O Swim Platform with Telescoping Ladder, 300 Pound Capacity

The JIF Marine EKT is an I/O swim platform with a telescoping ladder, built to give swimmers an easy, sturdy way to climb back aboard. 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.

This 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.

Installation hardware is not included, so mounting hardware should be sourced separately based on the boat's transom configuration.
