While we're on the subject, where can I get one of these cheap?

If you are gonna use the winch post as a step you might want to invest in a pair of those rock climbing shoe's with the super sticky rubber on the bottom

Seriously there was a time when I wouldn't think twice about that.......... But those day's are long gone........

I use my spare tire which is mounted vertically to my winch post as my bow step.

No Title

The fender/step on my little one is tucked under the boat some and my knee does not want to bend that way, so I have this on the back of my little one, it can be adapted to vertical mount also on a post, pretty neat though at the time seemed pricey to me, could not live without it now...:

I've got decent steps for getting into the aft portion of the boat fore and aft of the fender. I can also step on the fender itself as it will easily support my weight.

Well, they come in 3" as well.

I appreciate you posting this. I just ordered one. I'm going to look into some bolt on steps for either side of the bow section of the trailer. They might be shin busters but I expect they'd be useful.

My big boat is like that. The little one is all tucked under the hull. I showed that step on the back of my little one because it can be mounted vertically also up front, pretty nifty, was about $130 I think. You can also buy just the mount and have more than one place that the removable step can be used.
