Here is a short video I put together of me installing fins and fangs on my boat. Not my best work but I'm feeling a little rusty from not having done this much of any of this (i.e., taking and editing video as well as working on, towing, launching and recovering the boat in a few months).

 
@Ronnie Awesome video! Well done, especially around 3:00 showing the critical part of stabilizer piece install, it couldn't be more clear.
 
Thanks @Ronnie. Nicely done. You answered all of my questions.
 
thank you @Ronnie ... I'm very interested in the fangs ... can't wait to read about your impressions on the water.
 
Thanks Ronnie. I have to install mine. Think its possible to install while boat is on a Airdock, or should I pull it out? Id have to sit on a large raft. Also, I believe I have to drill holes for them.
 
It can be done but if you are starting from scratch put the fangs on first so the Fins won't be blocking your view/access to the nuts and bolts that hold the retention tabs to the nozzle. An extra set of hands wouldn't hurt especially if you are installing from a raft. Due to the likelihood of dropping and loosing what could be hard to find hardware in the water I would recommend installing while the boat is on the trailer as long as it does not take much time or effort to get it on and back of the trailer. I imagine that installation while the boat is beached would be a better option than from a raft.
