: I've got the keepers pegs in my Arctic Tern and they fit just fine. But it
: may have something to do with my size 11 feet ;)
: Have you tried enlarging the footpads by attaching a larger piece of plywood
: with some padding on it to the existing foot pedals? Another approach
: could be to establish the proper fore/aft distance on your keepers foot
: pedals, then attach a nicely shaped cross-piece to both pedals, giving you
: a cross-bar foot rest. You'd have to attach it after establishing the
: proper distance because of the taper of the hull.

Couldn't you use a dowel which is held in position by a couple short tubes, kind of like a closet pole, maybe pvc pipe, attached to the pedals? Would remain adjustable to some extent but would take some fidgiting.
