Ouch. Excellent point!
I want to install a swim step on the transom but for now I use a collapsible swim ladder in the splashwell when I go singlehanded. I can do it without, but only just.

Agreed!!!! Preparation goes a long way in the context of safety and returning home!

Swim step is a must! The odds of you being 100% able after unintentionally being thrown out of the boat are slim!

If you get to the ramp and it looks like this.. don't go.
