Kirt



I had concerns about the lightweight look of the standard fittings (you don't want to mess around with the primary structure of the boat) so I had some custom stainless steel brackets made up of a heavier guage ss. I'm not aware of any failures with the standard brackets although I have seen some distort a bit over time. I should add that it's been a couple of years since I saw the standard items and they may have changed in that time.



cheers
