: I've got the same foot brace, 'cept it's black, in my Argosy, comfy
: and can see why you'd want it. As long as it's positioned
: correctly can't see a down side, very light weight too.

: Ok, one downside, adjusting it would be a pain, have to crawl up
: inside the boat to loosen and tighten the adjusters.

It definitely pays to put a screw in hatch in the fore bulkhead if you are using an ocean cockpit. To enable you to get to the foot brace from the fore hatch for adjustment, and possible repair.
