Bolt-on the silver colored brackets to mount a step type plate anywhere on your trailer.

Now THAT, I LIKE!

I have thought I'd like to get a few steps welded at the front of my trailer to step on and off the bow at the ramp. As it is, I've only put some grip-tape on the wench bracket and use that. Not the safest feeling.
This looks like it'd be much better and less of a hassle to install.

Made by Megaware?? I don't use their keel gaurd, but a lot of people are happy with that product.

I don't see this product on their website at www.keelguard.com
Searching for megaware flexstep, I only found This page.

Do you have any link with more info?

It's coming out to the boating public later this year or next. I am at a pre-view show for the boating trade for next year's stuff.

Interesting.. At the pre-view show. was Fulton there with their new F2-series Winch? I bought the F2 tongue jack and have been impressed with it.

If it can be done, how many do you want to pre-order? Would you like to see it first?

I think I get a good enough idea from these pictures. Looks like it would work perfect for my application.
I'd only need one.

Seabuddy if you have a chance for input... (unless they have done so already). Tell them to make the mounting bracket to accomodate larger trailers. As those would be useful on larger boats. I can never find brackets to fit my trailer. I was looking for a spare tire mount and couldn't find one to fit the tubes on my trailer.

which wench will crank the winch?

blush I always get these wrong idn

That trailer bow ladder is something I was thinking of, but was thinking I'd only have two steps with no hand rail. If I can't negotiate a few steps without a hand rail, I shouldn't get behind the wheel. smile

'course, now I'm waiting for this product to come to market, or waiting to see if SB can score me a proto-type. wink

As I've went over the bow of my Taho when unloading and loading when the ramps are full maney times. At fifty two it's not as easy as when I was twenty two.A price and measurements would be help full. Many thanks seabuddy

Price is not seem to be set yet, I think because they are making some changes on what they intend to bring to market.
