: thanks all.

Hi Patrick,
Easy enough. Measure the distance from the 15lb weight in the bow to fixed point, the back of the seat would do, and multiply that number by the weight. Then divide the answer by your weight. That'll give you the distance you need to move the seat forward.

Hope this helps,
