If it's the Rubbermaid step I'm thinking of, you can use a little
blocking and a couple of largish hose clamps to attach a length of 1"
SCH 40 PVC pipe to the concave outside of the off-fore leg.  Make it
a convenient height and cap the end.  I think mine was maybe three
feet?  The old folks loved it -- nice handhold when stepping up and
dead simple to haul it aboard after.  I actually built it for the
handhold purpose, but the other proved handy as well.

Yrs,
David
