According to a UK publication, Concept2 Indoor Rower Fact Sheet, the correct drag factor for on-water rowers ranges from 125 to 140. “... at this level the feel is closest to that of a racing boat which makes training rowing specific.” So I changed the drag factor to 130. The result was a more familiar and much better row.

Playing with Damper settings and Drag Factors has taught me two things:

1) Drag factor is much less important than finding my strong point and rowing from it because rowing from my strong point helps me row with good technique, and that is the single best thing I can do for my back.

2) I determine the intensity at which I row, not the drag factor. The numerical value for the drag factor can be as low as 77, which is the lightest I can set it on my erg, yet pull very hard and row at high intensity, and vice versa.
