: This errant wall
: measurement plus 3 or 4 inches off the coaming determined the middle of my
: Yakima footbraces. After moving my seat back as far as possible to improve
: tracking, I'm now on the closest setting for my foot braces. This is fine
: for my sons which are taller than me, but a real problem for my wife.

I prefer to mount my footbraces after the boat is assembled. While it's not as convenient to add footbrace rails after the deck is attached, proper placement gets a whole lot easier!!
