much easiler to set your outside board first. then the next inboard, then the next inboard etc. when resetting a board that is not the inside board. if your running mini divers or inlines or bouncers. slowly with light tension let that line/board straight out the back of your boat till you believe it will clear the inside board/boards. let it track into it's running spot and adjust it from there. if you can get out with someone who knows how to run boards or charter a learning charter you will learn more in one day then you can imagine.
hope that helps
