Posts: 12,310 South Carolina | When you lower your boards, try to act like you aren't pissed off and shove them through the bottom of the boat. I have never changed mine and I have an 01.
Lee On the I20, it's not a big deal because the rubber snubber thing is right below the handle boss on the board. As it hits the well, the rubber is captured between the well and the handle. On the F18, they're sticking out off the board all by themselves with no protrusion above them and they simply shear off. I went through about four of them before I finally tied a 1/4" line through the hole.

Posts: 1,304 Gulf Coast relocated from Cali... | Just kidding about the pissed off thing. Just suggesting less aggression in lowering the boards. In distance racing I teather my boards to the shrouds. The teathers also can be adjusted to hold the boards at a certain level during rough seas. You can set them where they will come tight when the boards are almost down. I see Jakes point about the N20 and the handles. The only F18 exp I have is the Tiger or Infusion which both have a nice rope through them.

Posts: 12,310 South Carolina | 5.5 Uni...sounds like the board stoppers are similar to the F18's.
Will probably give the roller skate toe stops a shot this season to see how they work out.
Thanks, Tom G Oh, you've got those big rubber door stop bumpers (those are completely different than the "Inter" series board stops). I recall having issues with those on my 6.0 ... but I did the same solution...tied a line through the hole.
