Eric,

Thanks for your feedback. Do you have any sketches or pictures of the one with the support rack mounted underneath the deck? I really like the idea of adjustability. An earlier post had a concern about these braces becoming lose when the boat capsizes. Is the footrest just sitting on the rail or can it be fastened so that it's movement is limited to just front and back along the rail? Ever install one of these in tandom with a footpump or are they mutually exclusive?

Thanks,

Gary B.
