JIF Marine EPU3 Compact 3-Step Transom Ladder, Folding, 12 Inch Wide Mount

The JIF Marine EPU3 is a compact 3-step folding transom ladder built for small boats where mounting space is tight. It requires only a 12 inch wide by 6.5 inch high mounting area, and it is designed to fit most angled or curved transoms, not just flat ones. When not in use, the ladder folds down flat against the transom for a clean, out-of-the-way profile, then swings into position for easy boarding.

Construction is 1 inch diameter anodized aluminum tubing paired with non-slip, oval-shaped anodized aluminum steps, giving swimmers and anglers secure footing even when wet. The ladder is rated for a 250 pound load capacity and includes stainless steel fasteners and a securing strap for mounting and stability. Extended, the ladder reaches 28 inches down and 25 inches up, with a 12 inch width, making it suitable for smaller transoms on jon boats, small runabouts, and similar craft where a full-size ladder will not fit.
