I moved the entire pole forward "6. This way I could get the steering closer to the nose for better control. Also I didn't have to find a way to chop the pole down. I extended the tray forward into the motor cavity 3". So my overall pole loss was about 3-4" It seems perfect when I am riding hard, but it is a pain in my back to rest for a minute out there.
Very Curious as well.
Take the shoe that you are going to ride with. Cut out some cardboard to fit over how you like it. Then wrap the cardboard with plastic (garbage bag works nice) and duck tape the edges tight from under neath, after you pull your shoe out. Now your are ready to lay glass over the plastic bag. Once dried the plastic will peal out and you will be left with a first layer. Trim the edges up with a sander and repeat this untill strong enough. Then lay some carbon fiber over the top for the last coat. That is what I will do when these break. You can see in thread where I cut out a rectangle out of the side rail of my ski, after my first layer of glass. I cut the foam out so I could see the outside edge of my rail. I filled this rectangle with epoxy and microballoons to make it light but solid. This way I can bolt through the side without water getting in and or squeezing and cracking the side. Then I finished laying the rest of the glass in side the tray. To move it would un bolt it and drill two new holes in the foot hold. I am going to try to leave the bolts that go into the rail, as I dont want to make new holes there where you will see. You could cut little slots in the foot hold so that all you have to do is loosen a screw and move it quickly. I don't forsee needing to move it around on the water though.
carbon cheek chillers!
thanks bro.. keep up the awesome work you're doing!! btw, you ready to get the rickter hooked up!?
