[QUOTE="Waterwings, post: 151503, member: 123"] Nice job on the float stabilizers. Looking at the pics, the mounting plate at the end of the float poles looks to have 4 holes in it, and a pivot point above the mounting plate. How tight will that pivot point tighten-down? I'm thinking if you get a chop on the water, from an in-coming bow wake off another boat, it may not take the roll of the waves well and loosen the adjustment screw/bolt, thus defeating the purpose of the stabilizers. Will pop-rivets be enough to hold the mounting plate to the boat? If you're gonna drill holes, you might want to make a backing plate (1/8" minimum thickness, aluminum) to put on the inside of the boat, and use stainless bolts and washers. Just a thought. :) [/QUOTE]
