Can the ShoePlate PRO attach to a steering foot?
The Shoeplate PRO mirrors a shoe shape so attachment to a steering foot is done in the same way as you would normally attach a shoe. In smaller shells the ShoePlate Pro may restrict the full range of twisting motion that you otherwise experience when steering. This is because the Shoeplate PRO enables your entire foot to apply pressure for a greater proportion of the stroke. This is an advantage, however your steering settings may require some adjustment. We recommend: • adjusting the gearing for your steering so that smaller movements are required to turn the rudder. This will also encourage a stable platform and reduce excess twisting movements; • speak to your boat manufacturer about providing a more stable platform for your entire foot during the steering motion.
