After a bunch of searching I finally found a site that gave instructions for mounting in a kayak. I adapted them for installing in a canoe. During the process I did what you recommended and used o-rings to seal the screws. They worked great. All in all it was a two hour job with all of the measuring and shimming required for a solid and even installation.

I picked up a set of foot braces for Bell Canoe for my Royalex Rockstar canoe. Unfortunately they came with no instructions for installation. Where in relation to the seat do I mount these? How far forward do they go? What is the best way to seal the screw holes used for mounting? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
