Installation of Rowing Frame
& Sliding Seat for PaddleSki
Parts:
(1) Predrilled Plastic board for Rowing Frame
(2) Sliding Seat with cushion (not shown)
(3) Rowing Arm
(4) Pre-drilled Plastic Strip
(5) 2 Predrilled Aluminum bars
Hardware:

(d) 2 hex head bolts 2-1/2”
(e) 2 hex head bolts 2”
(f) 2 Phillips head bolts 1-1/2”
(g) 2 small knurled nuts
Pre-Assembly:
Lay the two aluminum bars parallel to each other. Place the
rowing arm and the plastic strip under the parallel aluminum
bars and insert the hex head bolts (d) & (e) as shown. Shorter
1-1/2” bolts are used for the rowing arm. Use 2 small washers
(c) for inserting the large hex head bolts through the plastic strip.
The above pre-assembled frame can be used for Rowing Frame
or Sliding Seat configurations as below:
A) Rowing Frame Configuration
Place the predrilled plastic board on the assembled frame as
shown below. Now secure the whole Rowing Frame with 4 large
knurled nuts (a), 4 large washers (b), 2 Phillips head bolts (f),
2 small washers (c) and 2 small knurled nuts (g) as shown.
Now place assembled the rowing frame on your paddleski
between the middle and the aft yoke. The rowing arm should lie
towards the stern of the paddleski. The rowing frame should
touch the middle yoke to prevent movement of the frame
during rowing. Place a DKS Seat over the board for comfort and
secure it to the d-rings on the boat. If your PaddleSki did not
come with a DKS seat, you may use a Boat Cushion (not
included) or any other seat cushion for comfort. Loop the
included foot strap around the bolts of the aft yoke to lock
your feet while rowing. Fully assembled rowing frame looks like
this.
