Slides
If you know the work through that best suits you, or you set the finish position off of the slides,
then you will adjust them before you get on the water. However, if you set the finish position,
and then set the slides this will have to wait until you are in the boat. Once the feet position
has been established, slide to the catch and finish position. If you are hitting either end, you
can loosen the four wing nuts under the deck to move the slides. Check that they are even by
sliding the seat to one end and seeing that the wheels both touch the slide end at the same
time. (see photo below) Tighten the wingnuts and you’re away.
Tip: If you are in the habit of changing the slides on the water, you might find that the
wingnuts are hard to loosen on land. If the person who last changed the slides was sitting on
the seat while they changed it, this would probably be the case. With a little bit of weight on
the slide right over the wingnut, you should be able to loosen it.
