I am going to be installing hiking straps on our 2 sunfish. I have looked online extensively but have not discovered a consensus on what height to install the front plate. I surveyed the fishes at our club and the newer ones are about 2-3 inches above the cockpit floor. The older ones are about 2 inches below the deck. Quite a difference. Having not used a strap before, can anyone give advice on where they should be attached? Also, why do they use an eye strap in back and a plate in front?
