: Will,
: To answer your questions:
: 1) "It looks like your using a Sea Dog Foot Rail. Would you
: use the
: same rails again?"
: Yes, they were cheap and after drilling lightening holes in the
: rails and removing the heavy foot braces, they are really light
: and strong. Plus, they came with glue on SS mounting studs at no
: extra charge.
: 2) "What did you do to connect your custom foot pads to the
: rail? Use
: part of the 'ergonomic' foot pads that came with it?"
: I cut the big foot pads off, leaving 2 plastic tabs that held the
: foot pad. I cut a small block of hardwood to fit between the
: tabs and bolted them on by drilling the tabs. I then mounted a
: flat piece of carbon to the wood block. This is a fully useable
: foot brace if I don't want to use the rudder control platform.
: My foot platform/rudder control is bolted to the pieces of
: carbon.
: 3) "If you move the foot braces how do you work around the
: shape of the
: hull. Did you install the tracks parallel?"
: The rear mounts are inline with front so the tracks are parallel. I
: had thought about slotting the foot platform mounting holes and
: leaving it slightly loose using lock nuts, so it would self
: align within the slot when moving back. This method would
: probably work as well and be easier to install.
: 4) "Are the small carbon adjusters on the rails aesthetics or
: an
: upgrade to the plastic ends?"
: The adjusters are functional. The original ones are about 3-4"
: long. Because my rear mounts are parallel with the front, and my
: boat is narrow, these adjuster would hit the outside of my leg.
: I just shortened them 3-4" and made them from carbon for
: aesthetics/weight
: The system works very well, is strong and allows multiple foot
: positions on a large platform while still having rudder control
: from anywhere on the platform. Being able to move my feet around
: is great! Also, the rudder toe controls are adjustable forward
: or back depending on your preference. The complete rudder system
: is easily removeable, leaving only the carbon rudder mount (and
: cables) on the stern with fully functional adjustable foot
: braces in the cockpit.
: Larry
Btw, really pretty boat that looks like it'll fly :)
Looks like fun too. How's the stability?
