Rigger
Placement
For a starting position, we recommend that the rigger gets mounted so that the pin (or the line
of work if you prefer) lines up with the bulkhead. Once you line up one rigger, you can count
the holes, and place the other riggers based on the holes (this will keep that stations evenly
spaced). Moving the rigger to the bow will move the athlete’s weight to the bow (assuming you
move the feet to match the movement in the rigger). The reverse happens moving the rigger to
the stern. Most coaches will have a preference as to how the boat trims. We recommend that
at speed the boat looks like it’s running level (similar depth in the bow deck and stern deck).
Tip: Once you are happy with your rigger placement, you can use the provided anodizing plugs
(black plugs in your spare parts bag) to mark the holes on either side of you rigger for easy
location when you de-rig and rig again.
Mounting
To mount the rigger (sculling):
• Slide a ¼” bolt and flat washer through the stern most hole of the rigger.
• Line the rigger up so that the pin (or line of work) is inline with the bulkhead.
• Using a provided flat washer, lock washer and ¼” nut, (see photo next page top left)
finger tighten the nut to affix the rigger.
• Slide the remaining three bolts with washers through.
• Finger tighten the remaining nuts.
• Using two 7/16” wrenches tighten the rigger down.
Tip: Affixing the rigger with the stern most hole first holds the rigger in place while you thread
the remaining bolts and nuts.
To mount the rigger (sweep):
• Slide a ¼” bolt and flat washer through the stern most hole on the opposite side of the
pin.
• Line the rigger up so that the pin (or line of work) is inline with the bulkhead.
• Using a flat washer, lock washer and ¼” nut, finger tighten the rigger.
• Slide the remaining three bolts with washers through.
• Finger tighten the remaining nuts.
• Using two 7/16” wrenches tighten the rigger down.
