A:
Off the back of a Tracker Pro Guide, 2 steps extend into the water. I normally do not use the bottom step to get into the boat. I love this ladder. I can easily get into the boat now after tubing in a lake. The best way to use it is to point your knees towards each side of the ladder. If you point your knees straight forward, it makes it harder to get into the boat. Also it is more comfortable to use if you wear water shoes.
