ABSTRACT:
A foot brace (A) is disclosed for a kayak (10) wherein the foot brace (A) is mounted to opposing interior sides of a hull (12) of the kayak. Each foot brace (A) includes an elongated adjusting brace bar (22) slidably carried by an adjusting bracket (20) along the interior side (12a) of hull (12). At a forward end (22a) of brace bar (22), a foot rest (24) is carried. The opposing aft end (22b) of brace bar (22) is slidably received in a cam bracket 52 and an attachment bracket (50) of adjusting bracket 20. A cam (54) is received in an opening (36) formed in brace bar (22) to lock the brace bar in a desired forward-aft position. Adjusting bracket (20) allows adjustment of the brace bar (22) in the forward and aft directions to facilitate the proper support and bracing of a foot (18b) of a boater (18). The adjusting bracket (20) and locking cam (54) may be easily operated by the boater while seated in a cockpit (16) of the kayak by manually operating a cam operator (56) from the seat of the cockpit.
