Edison Steps

Aside from the well know binnacles and wheels that they sell for most sailboats, Edison make a lot of other products. One that is not often seen is their boarding step. I have had mine for some 6 or 7 years. Originally purchased at Fawcetts in Annapolis (before they moved to the boondocks). It fastens to the rub rail and gives me one step to make from the dingy to the deck. It is simple cast aluminum with anti-skid on the top. It attaches by two lines (provide with snap shackles). Four rubber bumpers keep the step off the hull. I lost one last year and Edison sent two for free. On my boat the line requires some anti-chafing as it passes over the rail at a sharp angle. Some elk hide has done the trick.
