To those who row the Fluid Design:

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?The center? V strip below the foot-stretcher, into which the foot-stretcher locks down, was peened over, rounded over, so the whole ensemble would slip. I think the problem is fixed. I replaced the

old nylon V strip, and replaced the small wing nut and bolt with which you locked down the assembly.

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 1 Keep the gunnel bolts loose enough to position the stretcher to where it fits you.

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 2 Then Tighten the lower Cylindrical Nut, and Sliding Track Bolt FIRST.

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 3 After the lowest bolt is tight, then you can firm up the Gunnel attachments.

By replacing the small wing nut with a tall Cylindrical nut, it will be easy to tighten now.

Let me know if you have any problems.
