Perko Foldable Marine Footrest – Chrome-Plated Manganese Bronze is a folding step for boats and yachts. It provides a place to position a foot when moving between levels or reaching an elevated area on board. The step opens when needed and folds toward its mounting bracket when it is no longer in use, making it useful where a fixed step would project into the available space.

The step is made from chrome-plated manganese bronze and has a stainless steel spring that holds it in either the open or closed position. Its 4-1/8″ × 2-1/4″ measurement refers to the step surface. The manufacturer also lists a 4-1/4″ × 1-3/4″ bracket and a 1-3/8″ projection when folded. These measurements are useful when checking the space available for installation, particularly beside a narrow passage or near other deck hardware.

This folding boat footrest combines the step surface, hinge, and mounting bracket in one compact fitting. The spring keeps the step in its selected position, so it can remain folded between uses and ready for the next time access is needed. Its chrome finish gives it the appearance of other polished marine hardware. If you are choosing a boat foot rest for an existing installation, compare both the step and bracket dimensions with the space available; the step measurement alone does not describe the full fitting.

For a new installation or replacement, check the mounting surface, bracket footprint, and surrounding clearance before fitting the step. The manufacturer specifies 5/16″ round-head bolts for the bracket but does not state in the product information that fasteners are included. This marine footrest is best understood as a compact folding step: its suitability for a particular location depends on how and where it is mounted. No load rating is stated in the available manufacturer specifications, so a required weight capacity should be confirmed before purchase rather than assumed from the material or size.
