Straight-Hole 316 Stainless Steel Folding Mast Step. Unlike traditional steps that feature flared teardrop or oval base plates, this specific model uses a narrow, rectangular straight-line bracket to minimize its footprint on tight mounting surfaces like slender sailboat masts, narrow transoms, or vehicle roof-rack pillars.
Key Hardware Design Details
Straight-Hole Configuration: Designed with a slim, straight block bracket that aligns the two mounting fastener holes directly in a single center line. This allows the step to fit onto incredibly thin vertical channels where a wide-flange step would overhang.
Spring-Loaded Anti-Rattle: Features an internal, high-tension stainless steel spring plate. It snaps tightly into the open or closed position, staying locked down so engine vibrations or heavy winds won't cause it to shake or noise-rattle.
Safety Diamond Tread: The main stepping ring surface features an aggressive, deeply stamped diamond tread pattern to offer high traction and prevent your footwear from slipping off in wet conditions.
Saltwater Defense: Cast out of solid, highly polished 316 marine-grade stainless steel to prevent galvanic corrosion and pitting when exposed to harsh marine environments.
If you are planning out your hardware install layout, tell us:
Are you attaching this step to an aluminum mast track, a fiberglass hull wall, or a trailer frame steel bar?
Do you need assistance figuring out the center-to-center drilling distance between the two straight mount holes?
Would you like the recommended stainless steel fastener type and threading size (e.g., M6 or 1/4" bolts) for a secure mount?
