Dowels
| $5.00 each | (DWL&H) |
The Ridge Spirit Outfitting dowel is used to firmly connect the saddle to the boat. By doweling both ends of the saddle, the lateral motion between the top of the saddle and the thwarts is almost entirely eliminated. This means that even the slightest movements from the paddler’s hips are translated into a reaction from the hull, providing a more responsive craft. Our dowel is 1 inch diameter HDPE that will never rot. Each dowel is 6 inches long and comes with a pre-drilled hole in one end and a stainless screw and cup washer for mounting to your thwarts.
Adjustable Foot Braces
| $50.00 / pair | (YK-10) |
Ridge Spirit Outfitting offers Yakima-style adjustable foot braces, the industry standard for whitewater canoeing. These foot braces are made of a 10-inch aluminum rail and an aluminum-reinforced plastic foot pad. Easily adjust the position of the foot pad fore and aft by pressing the release lever behind the foot pad. Mounting hardware is not included.
Thwarts
| $15.00 each | (THW) |
Ridge Spirit Outfitting offers ash thwarts up to approximately 35 inches long for outfitting your canoe. Our standard thwarts are approximately 1 ¼ inch wide by ¾ inch thick with rounded edges and have a teak oil finish. Our thwarts are not pre-drilled, so that the customer can align-drill the thwarts with the existing holes in their gunwales. When ordering, please specify the length of thwart that you need. We recommend you let us supply your thwarts approximately one inch longer than you need so that you can cut to get an exact fit.
Thwart Hardware
| $2.50 / pair | (THWH###) |
Ridge Spirit Outfitting offers stainless steel #10 hardware for attaching thwarts to the gunwales on your canoe. We offer four different machine screw lengths (1 ¾ in, 2 in, 2 ¼ in, and 2 ½ in lengths) to accommodate most common ‘thwart + gunwale’ thickness. One set of hardware is enough to attach one thwart. Each set of hardware comes with the following:
- 2x Phillips head machine screws
- 2x Cup washers
- 2x Flat washers
- 2x Locking nuts
- 2x Plastic caps (not pictured)
