Spread (Sculling)
All sculling boats are coming out of the factory with stickers marking the spread
measurements.
To adjust using the factory stickers:
• Insert the pin in the pin block so the pin key sits in the slot (See photo next page top
left). If you tend to rig on the wide side, have the keys facing in, and if you tend to rig
on the narrow side have the keys face out.
• Use the provided ½” flat washer, ½” lock washer and the ½” nut and finger tighten the
pin (See photo next page top right).
• Slide the pin in the block until the machine mark on the base of the pin lines up with
the desired spread.
• Tighten the pin with a ¾” wrench, as tight as manually possible.
• Check that tightening did not move the pin.
To adjust without the factory stickers:
• Insert the pin in the pin block so the pin key sits in the slot (See photo next page top
left). If you tend to rig on the wide side, have the keys facing in, and if you tend to rig
on the narrow side have the keys face out.
• Use the ½” flat washer, ½” lock washer and the ½” nut and finger tighten the pin (See
photo next page top right).
• Measure from the machine mark on one pin to the machine mark on the other, and
then adjust one pin until you have the desired spread.
• Measure from the opposite slide to the pin, do the same on the other side. Are they
even?
• If not move the pin that’s father away from the centre in, and the pin that’s closer
out. To make small precise adjustments, try tapping the base of the pin with the
wrench. Measure again to see that they’re even.
• Measure from one pin to the other to make sure it’s still the spread you want.
• Tighten the pin with a ¾” wrench, as tight as manually possible.
• Check that tightening did not move the pin.
Span (Sweep)
To adjust the span in a sweep boat:
Here’s how to set it:
• Insert the pin in the pin block so the pin key sits in the slot (See photo next page top
left). If you tend to rig on the wide side, have the keys facing in, and if you tend to rig
on the narrow side have the keys face out.
• Use the ½” flat washer, ½” lock washer and the ½” nut and finger tighten the pin.
(See photo next page top right)
• Mount the pins in finger tight, and a ¼ turn with a ¾” wrench.
• Measure across the gunnel in line with the pin. Divide this number in two.
• Place this number on the tape on the gunnel in line with the pin (this effectively puts
the end of the tape at the centerline of the boat).
• Measure straight out to the pin (not up and on an angle), and adjust. To make small
