Bought a used Ovation. The pedestal is now mounted towards the Stern . All the pic's online show the same placement. Since it is a asymmetrical hull can I move it Forward? I put it in the water and it s Bow light.
My primary use will be down river not play boating. I would like to move it 2 inches up as it would solve a lot off outfitting problems. This is my first true O.C. 1 I would like to get it right any help would be appreciated .

Re: Ovation pedestal placement
I'd say go for it.
At least, first try putting a 2 inch spacer between your back and the seat back to simulate moving the saddle 2 inches forward and see what you think in terms of trim and how it paddles.
Of course, you need to test trim with you in the boat.
I know a guy who loves his Ovation.
