I use foam "footbraces" glued to the hull and bulkhead. I used two pieces of minincell about 4x8x12. I used a form tool to get the shape of the hull and then cut and sanded the blocks to conform. I used 3M Marine adhesive to bond the foam to the hull. I have another minicell pad in the center for my heels, and this gets replaced every few months as it wears out. cya -----Original Message----- From: owner-paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net [mailto:owner-paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net]On Behalf Of Larry C.

I paddle a Pygmy Coho with bulkheads and Keepers foot braces and I wear thin water shoes. I have paddled a WW boat that had no foot braces, only a foam bulkhead and it felt very cushy. Has anyone ever modified a SK that has foot braces to a bulkhead type foot brace? My existing bulkhead is probably 8" or more from my foot position. Is there a way of mounting a foam (maybe glued to plywood) bulkhead to the existing foot braces? It would be nice to be able to adjust the bulkhead with the foot braces. I could remove the existing foot braces and build the bulkhead out to the correct position but, I would only work for me. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
