FIRST THINGS FIRST
Please check that the upright will fit your boarding ladder.
If the upright does not fit, please contact CLR Marine to return the Extend Your Step. If the ladder does not fit and you screwed it together already, we can not accept it as a new returned item, it is used and thrown out due to possible invasive species that may be in your waters and a refund can not be processed. There will be a restocking fee that pays for the box on returned items because they do not. We do inspect all returned items.
Assembly
Due to the inherent oils in Starboard we suggest adding just enough lead fishing weight to the under side of the bottom step, to stop the Extend Your Step from floating up. We do not do this in order to save you the added shipping costs.
To increase your foot hold on the steps, we had a customer add 2-inch Diameter 3:1 Waterproof Heat Shrink Tubing it is a Large Marine Dual Wall Adhesive Shrinkable Insulation Sealing Wear-Resistant Cable Protector that they found on-line.
