Baller Keith_Menard Posted August 27, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 27, 2018 How do you tell the boot is neutral side to side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller vtjc Posted August 27, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 27, 2018 The center screw into the boot should keep it centered. For rotation, I miss the indicators the prior aluminum plate had. I used calipers and measured the slots until I felt like it was centered for the front boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Dacon62 Posted August 28, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 28, 2018 Aluminum plate had marks like you mentioned. Don’t think it’s that hard to eye ball center....? Looks like your plate has a thin foam gasket? Mine did not and I needed to sand the top of my screws down just a bit so they would sit flush with the plate and not mark up the ski.

Baller pregom Posted August 28, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 28, 2018 Is a caliper really needed for this instead of simply eyeballing it? How sensitive is the ski response to a boot rotation of a few degrees? And going in the opposite direction of staying neutral, what effects do you get (or would you be looking to get) with a rotation set on purpose?

Baller vtjc Posted August 28, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 28, 2018 Calipers aren’t a requirement; eye balling center is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller mwetskier Posted August 28, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 28, 2018 if you're using a radar vapor boot theres a center point indicator molded into the front edge of the boot's sole. you can take a tape measure and center that indicator from side to side on the top of the plate.

Baller C5Quest Posted August 28, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 28, 2018 Just eyeballed mine for most part. Center the screws in the slot seemed to work ok. Tweet as necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
