How to choose stern platform
Avoid water activities because it’s hard to get back on board? A stern platform offers safe and easy access to the water, making it simple to swim or board your dinghy. It’s a key safety feature for getting back on deck—even in a man-overboard situation—and also simplifies mooring and anchoring.
Step-by-step guide
1. There is a model for every boat
The range of products covers different sizes of models for stern platforms. With negative or positive transom. For a narrow or a wide transom. The width of the transom and the intended function of the platform are crucial in determining which option is best.
2. Shape and size of your transom
Measure the width of your transom approximately 300-400 mm above the waterline. If placed lower, it may drag in the water at a higher speed when motoring or sailing. The width of the platform you choose based on this measurement is a matter of preference, and whether you want space for things like anchor holders, if you want it as wide as possible, or if you want a smaller platform. Make sure you have access and space on the inside of the transom to fit the washer and nut on the bolt. All models are slightly rounded towards the transom to align nicely with the shape of the boat.

3. Choose a model that suits you and your boat
A stern platform is there for your convenience and safety. For swimming and bathing as well as a place for a MOB ladder. For Scandinavian mooring it is also a good place for an anchor roller. If your boat has an outboard rudder, you can choose to either put a smaller platform on each side of the rudder or our specially designed platform for boats with an outboard rudder. If you have a sterndrive boat, the platform size will depend on the drive’s placement. Measure carefully to determine whether you can install a full platform over it or smaller platforms on each side. The same applies to boats with an outboard motor.
