JIF Marine EPU2 Compact 2-Step Transom Ladder, Anodized Aluminum, 250 lb Capacity

The JIF Marine EPU2 is a compact 2-step transom ladder built for small boats where deck and transom space are limited. It requires only a 12 inch wide by 6.5 inch high mounting area, making it suitable for angled or curved transoms as well as flat ones. The ladder folds down for easy boarding and folds up out of the way when not in use, keeping the swim platform or transom clear while underway.

Construction is durable 1 inch diameter anodized aluminum tubing paired with non-slip oval-shaped anodized aluminum steps, giving swimmers and boarders secure footing even when wet. The ladder is rated for a 250 pound load capacity across its 2 steps. Stainless steel fasteners and a securing strap are included, so everything needed to mount and stow the ladder comes in the box. The finish is silver anodized aluminum, chosen for corrosion resistance in marine environments.

This ladder is designed as a universal-fit accessory for small boat transoms rather than a model-specific replacement part, so it works across a wide range of small boats as long as the transom can accommodate the 12 inch by 6.5 inch mounting footprint.
