Renegade foot bar mods

[cool][#0000ff]Like a lot of my prototype PVC projects, I put that one together before trying it on the water. It worked great but I could quickly see that a simple straight shaft with a "J" stirrup on the bottom would work equally well. So to make one for your own personal body size and leg length you simply need to sit on the seat and extend your legs to the point you want them to rest...with a bit of bend in the knees. Then measure down on the side of the pontoon to that point and make your PVC cuts accordingly.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]In short, I tried to get all fancy with the fitting but it ain't necessary. You could do the same thing with a piece of 1" aluminum or copper pipe...bent to create the stirrup. You just have to flatten the top to fit the rubber attachment on the side of the pontoon and then cut a 3/8" hole for the bolt and ring clip attachment.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I don't have a lot of other pics and Flygoddess now has my first model.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I am also 6'3" and YES you will have problems with the bar. That was the main motivator to make the stirrups.[/#0000ff]
