Can you change the stokes from simple pull back and forth to elliptical strokes (consistent with on water rowing) ?

You can pull the handles back & forth either all at once or alternating, but I think it would be difficult to slide your body back & forth on the seat if alternating the handles. The motion is much smoother if you pull back & then push forward.

Set stress at 5.5 - 6.5, row 30-45 minutes at 26 stokes per minute. Make sure you do the full stroke (makes all the difference in the world). Warm up and down for 3 minutes each. Have a great day.

your power leads from the battery are reversed! a dc motor like whats in the boat will run forward or reverse by simply changing the polarity of the leads!

I found out the same thing. I actually moved them past the lowest setting and it did make it slightly easier to use. Also the cylinders need to wear in slightly and they will feel better

When you adjust direction, there is also a setting for flow. It's difficult to describe, at least for me, but the flow adjustment is also done through the head/neck of the output nozzle by turning it. If you play around with it a little you should be able to feel the adjustment when you're turning it. And obviously by the flow.

Yes it is possible, my husband did it with 3 others in the boat but it is not easy when you hit small tides and wind. He worked pretty hard and was sweating. It's hard to control for one person just because it's long and big. We looked in to getting a small motor but it's not cheap!

You can adjust the resistance by the amount of water that you add. There isn't a switch or lever, just the water level which can be adjusted. There's a mark on the tank above which you don't want to add any more water (maximum resistance, I suppose) but you can certainly add less.Also the faster you row, the more resistance you create.

The button is neither soft nor mushy. After using the reel for 5 minutes you'll be just fine. Should replace your spinning reels. This reel is as accurate as you want it to be. Very long casts. Start with short casts away from limbs and docks. After 3 or 4 casts you'll see what i mean.

No. You have to turn the crank with one and hold down a pressure arm with the other when rewinding. You might be able to get around this by hanging the unit low and depress the pressure a with your chin but silly as it sounds it might work.

Air gauge won't work on these due to the twist valve. I just go by feel . You'll need to adjust depending on water temp and heat of sun. Its no problem though. I love my boat.very stable...quick set to set up and break down.. its awesone for floating the river. Although its not recommended in the instruction manual. I only recommend securing the seat because if it slides back while on the water its almost impossible to fix. And a non level boat is difficult to row. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Michael Try to change the props to the oppsite sides -they should run so the leiding edge is going forwards this makes the boat go forward- I changed all the rc radio and reciver and mounted a hi tq servo with a new working rudder and now it almost flyes across the lake. Hope this helps Larry

Yes, you can! There is even a reverse train workout that cues you to pedal forwards and backwards at different intervals.

Gary I called the seller to make sure it could be switched from 4 stroke to 2 stroke for my 2000 Evinrude. He got off the phone went to the stock shelf and pulled the unit and it had an adjustment on the back for 2 or 4 stroke. When I got it it was easy to set and it worked correctly right off the bat. Don't be afraid of this unit it is user friendly.

Yes. There is a easy to use metal wheel at the base of the crank handle that increases and decreases the drag, depending on which direction you turn the wheel.

I would have to say No, you can't use the machine that way really. You have to pull the row handles toward yourself, then you have to push them back away from yourself but there is no real resistance to the push. The pistons only give resistance when pulling toward yourself. I hope this answer is helpful.

It's a little awkward,but if u have any mechanical experience and can read and follow instructions u shouldn't have a problem. Some advice, leave the plastic boots that are on the rowers off. They are not necessary.

There is no real tension adjustment on the rower. Resistance is dictated by the amount of water in the unit... the more water, the greater the resistance. There are marks on the side of the water vessel to provide level recommendations. I've found that if the water level is near the top two marks you get a good workout. Hope this helps.
