Abstract
The invention disclosed herein is a device, method of use and kit for measuring and precisely setting the dimensions in wheeled and tracked devices or vehicles. It is particularly well-suited for rowing boats and simulators thereof, including but not limited to sweep rowing and sculling watercraft. It introduces a novel gauge and process to adjust wheels within tracked environments to minimize friction and enhance equipment performance. Further, the device is capable of precise measurement of both spread and span dimensions in rowing watercraft to optimize rigging.
