    makes boarding a lot safer

    Very helpful when getting into and out of the boat from dock. I have ordered a second for additional assistance and safety. Will mount side-by-side for two-handed use.

      I used two of these along with a Windline dive ladder on my power cat dive boat. Probably the most solid off the shelf rails you could buy. Perfect for my application.

        Comments about Dockmate Boarding Handrail:

        This is the best product for getting in or out of a boat from a dock that I have seen. It is very sturdy and has grip ridges so your hands do not slip in wet weather. So far I have found nothing that is not great about it. My dock is in salty tidewater and it is a perfect application. Some of my friends have ordered the product after seeing it installed.

          This is the 2nd one I've purchased. This one is installed on the other side of the dock. Both are used to make boarding and getting off the boat for anyone that is in need of support.

                  Comments about Dockmate Boarding Handrail:

                  Ordered based on positive reviews posted on line. However, the quality of the welds (where the rail attaches to the flanges at the bottom) is terrible: very rough, unsightly, and could easily cause a cut. Would not recommend especially if children or pets are present.

                        Grandma and I are getting up in years. It is getting a little more difficult to get into and out of our boat. This was very easy to install and is very solid. It has made it much easier and safer for us to enjoy our boat. Thank you for a great product.
