ABSTRACT:
A step device for mounting on the transom platform of a boat that may be moved between a use position wherein a step thereof is immersed in the water in which the boat floats and a storage position wherein the step is located above the platform out of the water formed of a step unit, a pair of bracket units and a pair of pin members. The step unit when in the use position permits a person to climb out of the water and onto the platform without the step making any appreciable movement relative to the platform during such climb because of its unique construction which includes a pair of support members each having an L-shaped portion that includes a leg section and a step section joined normally to the leg section via an arcuate section, a lateral portion that extends integrally and normally from the top end of the L-shaped portion, and an abutment portion that extends integrally from such lateral portion in the direction of the step section spaced apart from and parallel to the leg section. When the device is mounted on a boat platform, the abutment portions of support members function to hold the step unit in a steady use position.
