Re: [Paddlewise] [Bagboater] link to Nautiraid pedal modifications

Kevin,





I finally looked at the drawings etc. for your fix.





First of all, it is a good one that is much better than the stirrups that
Nautiraid uses (and that Feathercraft uses in its doubles).





Second, the notched/slotted board(s) that are used to give you a fore and aft
adjustment for leg length is virtually identical to something that Nautiraid
used earlier!   I had forgotten this until a few weeks ago I knocked down an
older Nautiraid Raid 1 and there they were.  Made of wood just like yours only
not heavy.  The way the notched/slotted boards were held in place is simplier
than yours in that the whole notched/slotted board and stationary foot pedal
move.   The notches slip under the nearest crossrib, which in this  single is
the crossrib at the front of the cockpit.  To adjust for leg length you lift
the cross rib slightly and drop it into one of the slots.  I can't remember if
there is any other attachment involved for the board and for the pedals (there
may have been some stabilizing bungee too)

  Subject: [Bagboater] link to Nautiraid pedal modifications








  Hello everyone,


  I'm so bored with sending (and re-sending because I forgot something each
time) multiple copies of plans and photos of the modifications that I made to
the pedals on our Nautiraid GR520, that I've put them on the web at the link
below. I'm glad that people are interested and am grateful for their comments,
but I hate sitting there watching the modem chugging away!


  BTW, don't criticise my web page, it's the first time I tried!


  Cheers,


  Kevin Dyer
