- By: paul delnero 07/03/2018If you look very closely you will see that each runner has an arrow etched into the top. That is an easy way to tell which way to put them on the boat. That’s why they call them arrow runners. Many Arrow owners were putting them on backwards which makes the boat considerably slower.paul delnero

It should work fine. Bigger footprint in the ice. Dontcha know.

I suppose smooth ice, not too much of a problem mechanically. Alignment?
12/03/2017 at 9:50 am
Well, it seems to me that if it is aligned going forward, then it is aligned going backwards.

Is that the new Go Fast technique?
