    I have a 2013 1825MX. Two questions – will the winch post ladder I see on the newer models work with my model year trailer? I do a lot of night fishing. Has anyone installed loading lights that are activated when the trailer is backed into water? Is there a brand that works better / lasts longer than other models?

    Call your local Skeeter dealer and give them your trailer vin amd they will set you up with the oem ladder and the lights. The wiring in the trailer is maybe even there in the harness.

    to answer the ladder question, no the diamond plate steps winch post ladder will NOT work on a 2013 MX trailer, EZ Loader changed the winch post I believe in 2014 allowing it to fit. The 2012/2013 ladder is much different, SBC can take care of you, I think it’s around $350

    I use this $25 step instead, works great

    muskiegreg,
    PM me if you are still looking I can send you pics, I have a 2013 MX 2025 and ELoader hooked me up with a ladder for this config. and it works great. I am sure SBC can hook you up or EZL can take care of it. 350 for it is close but the shipping is about the same so SBC or a dealer shipping in trailers from EZL would save you 250 to 300 in shipping. I happen to have a place and visit family close to EZL , Midway, AR so I was able to skip shipping cost. again ladder is great on the MX 2025 not sure about the 1825

    I’d love to see some pictures. My wife is short so climbing into the boat is always a bit of a pain. A friend has a 2016 WX2190 and getting into his boat via the ladder is so simple and quick.

    I have the Skeeter steps on my WX2000T. With all the stuff I bought for that boat the BEST, yes BEST thing I bought were those steps.

    As Duchy says best money spent.
    The picture isn’t the best.

    That’s not the ladder that fits a 2013 MX1825

    Joe,
    what are the u-bolts on the top of your trailer about midway to the wheel wells, did you put those on to attach cover straps to? I have wrap around straps on my cover and they rub the hull especially when I am traveling in dusty/wet snowy conditions. sorry not trying to highjack post. I am looking for the angle brackets that would hook straps to bottom of c-channel and not wrap the straps around boat

    I finally found a picture of the compatible ladder for the 2012/2013 Skeeter MX 1825 trailers…

    Any chance you have a picture from the other side of the boat? It is hard to see the step configuration.
