Mounting Monitors

Hard mounting point to capture accurate hull acceleration data at each rowing position

Consistent orientation with at least 10° of incline towards the athlete. At present, monitors cannot be mounted flat

One monitor per instrumented rowing position to collect data, even if monitors are not visible to the athlete

Option 1: footboard or hull

Many hulls have bolt holes on the foot board that provides a convenient mounting location for the Rowing Monitor.

To elevate the monitor above the toes, mounts can be bent twice to create an “S” shaped elbow

Option 2: either gunwale

In team boats, XBoat Rowing Monitors can be mounted on the gunwales in unused bolt holes.

This position provides sturdy connection to the hull for precise acceleration measurement, easy athlete visibility, and clearance from oars

Option 3: rigger

Some hulls allow for the mounting of a compatible accessory directly on the center of the rigger.

Be sure that the Rowing Monitor is securely affixed to the boat so hull acceleration is accurately captured at each seat

❗NOT RECOMMENDED❗

SpeedCoach straps alone do not provide a solid attachment to the hull. The XBoat system relies on the firm attachment of the Rowing Monitor to the instrumented hull to properly collect and transmit hull acceleration data at each seat

Option 1: outboard gunwale

rowing monitors can be mounted atop existing bolts as allowed by the shells rigger. be sure that the rowing monitor is positioned to:

Option 2: inboard gunwale

some shells have space for the monitor on the inboard side, providing visibility in the direction of rowing. When mounting on the inboard, be sure your shell’s dimensions allow for the oar to clear the monitor
