Hiya folks.

I have my trap off due to some necessary repairs and while I've got it off I am putting grip/padding tape on the side bars.

My question is; how rigid should the frame/ frame to pylon joints be. When the tramp is tight the frame is really rigid but there is a bit of motion between the corner castings and hull pylons. This seems to create a bit of twist through the whole boat. Is this desirable? Should I be shimming these joints to prevent this movement?

What do you guys think?

Thanks Pat
