Karen,
I installed a fold-down step on my P19 on which I place the gas tank and
secure it with a bunge. I lowered the ladder (one step distance) to allow
room for the fold-down step. I can actually use the ladder now, it was TOO
SHORT before. Gas tank is out of the way. I leave it there when afloat or in
a slip. In the event I fall overboard I might have to remove the bunge and
"temporarily" float the tank while I climb abord, but since my being in the
water would be life threatening I'll take that chance (never was much of a
fish). I have had it this way for about 5 years because my wife and I hated
the smelly thing under out feet. I bought mine at Boater's World on sale for
about $20, but I would pay the $33.99 now because it works. I need to
refinish it sometime this year.
Highly recommend it!

They are called step, folding or footrest or cockpit steps.

West Marine has them also and probably Boater's World.

Remember four years of good friends, bad clothes, explosive chemistry
experiments.
