    marquipt tips/tricks?

    hi all,

    i know its not rocket science,
    but looking for any tips or tricks when attaching the sea stairs to the mounting brackets.
    wheels on, off or any other advise
    trying to avoid being the dock entertainment when wrestling with them the first time.

    thanks,
    Jim

    I find it easiest to have wheels inserted and steps open. Pins in pocked. Then hold by the leading edge of a mid step and line up the step and hull brackets and insert 1 pin... the step around and pin the other side.

    I agree with dottieshusband with one exception. I have the pins attached to the ladder so that I’m not reaching for them, they’re just hanging there ready to grab.
