New ‘bolt-on’ trailer stairs anyone?

Post by OverEasy »

Hi All!

Just came across these interesting aftermarket bolt on trailer stairs for your boat trailer
While the original MacGregor trailers came with a ladder to access the bow of the boat while on the trailer not many aftermarket or replacement trailers have this option. Clamoring up the winch post to access the bow may have been fun in one’s younger years but not so much in the current years! :D :D

These aftermarket steps look to be a lot more friendly than even the original ladder

OverEasy,
I just got done building a ladder/stair setup for my trailer. It isn’t the stock trailer but a dual axle aluminum trailer. If someone could tell me how to post pictures I’ll put up a few. I would hope it gave others ideas. Tony

When you post a reply, click on the button in the bottom right that I've circled in my attached picture. I think it's pretty easy from there, but feel free to ask if you get stuck.

When I go to post it allows me to pick the photos and upload them but it goes back to the topic with a pink bar that says forum rules. Do they need to be a certain size? Thanks.

I wasn't able to post photos from my iPhone nor my iPad. I had to use my Mac, ironic. I posted the pictures as a mod on the mods page. If you have questions I hope I can help. Tony

It didn't work for me once and I changed the size to medium. Maybe try changing that.
