ABSTRACT:
A "U-shaped" rigid stirrup member having a base and two legs extending from the base to the open ends of the "U" is mounted to the transom of a water craft symmetrically about the propulsion jet outlet. The mountings at the craft transom hinge the stirrup to facilitate the positioning of the "U" in a downward direction to act as a stirrup for boarding the craft and upward out of the way of the jet outlet and the water surface. A torsion spring at least at one of the hinge points automatically positions the stirrup upward after the craft is boarded but is easily overcome by hand to position the stirrup downward for boarding.
