Author	Topic:   95' Outrage rocket launchers access
jimb342	posted 07-30-2002 08:27 PM ET (US)         Anyone know of an accessory item that attaches to the deck(next to the leaning post/bait tank area) that makes it easier for anyone under 6'6" to access the rocket launchers. Perferably something that blends in. Thanks, Jim
Chap	posted 07-31-2002 10:03 AM ET (US)             Hello, If it is an aluminum post with legs. If you don't need to get a cooler etc. out from under the post or use doors, you could install a flip down step that spans the legs. If cooler etc. are a problem I have seen small permanent "steps" more like nubs screwed or welded to the individual legs. They support a one foot step up. If it is a glass post your could bolt some flip down transom steps to the outside somewhere. Thanks Chap

It is hinged on both sides of the leaning post and is a stainless steel tube with a narrow plastic foot rest which runs along 3/4 of the length. It is held in place when not being used with a plastic C device that the tube snaps into. Folds up out of the way to point that I forget its there sometimes. fwiw
