• Subtract the first number from the second to get your height.
• To adjust, loosen two ¼” bolts on the sternside of the foot plate, and slide the feet up
the hairpin for less height or down the hairpin for more height.
• Finger tighten the bolts to keep the feet from sliding when you re-measure.
• Repeat measurement and adjustment until you find the proper height.
• Using a 7/16” wrench, tighten the foot plate bolts, and the toe bar bolts if you haven’t
done so already.
Tip: How much should you tighten these bolts? Finger-tighten them, and then another ¼ to 1/3
of a turn with a 7/16” wrench.
Foot Position
Foot position on the tracks (bow to stern) is best determined on water, unless you know the
measurement from the line of work that is best for you.
There are a number of ways to set your feet. A good starting point for sculling would be to set
your feet so that at the finish there is about 20cm between the ends of your grips. For sweep a
good starting point is to set the feet so that the end of the handle is in line with the outside of
your body in the finish position. Make sure that the toe bar and the hairpin are properly
seated, and then tighten the wing nuts.
