DS 5 These uprights provide a nice firm base for the step. I used cheap pine to mock this up first, because of the various angles. Then I transfered it to Teak.

DS 4 I cut these holes purposely to provide stability to the step and keep it in place when the dogs are secured.

DS 3 Blocks of the same shape which are attached to the under side of the step fit securely into these holes and provide the same strength and stability as the step once had before I made it detachable.

DS 1 The long wooden blocks sit squarely on the uprights and provide a strong solid base for the step. Question: Why have a detachable step in the cabin? Answer: The area behind this step was designed for storage of a 48 qt cooler but in order to get it in this area, I had to remove the cushions on the Starboard side and slide the cooler in behind the step. Now, I only have to remove the step and lift my 50 qt cooler over the uprights and put the step back in place.

Detachable step mod 001 Here's the sketch. I hope you can read it. This is probably one of my better mods that I feel was very successful which is more than I can say for some of the other mods I have done to my boat through the years.

Some people have been inquiring about my detachable step inside the cabin so I am providing closeup pics and a sketch with some dimensions.
