: That is me. It works quite well. If I could post a pic I would, but I dont
: have one. I did it with an extra mounting peice of wood, placed about
: 6" in front of the track. Then, with a jam cleat mounted to that and
: the brace on the track per Nicks plan except without the hooks, it is
: completely adjustable.

: I would recommend simply extending the track out and making it all one
: assembly rather than a seperate mounting block. This would keep the brace
: from coming out unless the cleat were removed. It would also make
: installation easier. I'll see about borrowing the camera and getting a
: picture to you if you like. It is a very comfortable brace.

Ken and Don,

Thanks for the comments. I feel silly asking ( I am REAL new to boating) but what is a jam cleat, specifically?

Don, I think there would be more than a few who would be interested in seeing photos of your setup.Looking forward to pics.
