Bolster Foot Rest
#7
Hey guys received my foot rest from PQ today. Question the one you guys purchsed was it just a stainless tube in an L shape?? I was thinking of a wedge shade glass rest that would mount to the floor?? If its the same one , have you had any problems with stress cracks?
I see I'll need to put a large backing plate.
Thanks

That's the one. I made backing plates out of stainless steel for both ends. I have no stress cracks yet and my son stands on them. I also used stainless bolts with nuts not screws. Have someone sit in the seat and mount it where it feels best.

Brian,
I have stand-up bolsters in my boat. I'm pretty sure they're the same height as the other Powerquest models. As far as how high I put mine, I'm thinking around 8 inches or less. I'd have to go out in the boat and measure and get back to you. But like I said before have someone sit in the seat and you hold it where it feels most comfortable to them. Then mark the holes.
