It fits - don't bitch about it

[MidnightRider]

It seems to me in the event of hitting something with the fins I’d rather have them solidly bolted on. Wouldn’t it be better to have them bend vs flopping around and doing more damage to other stuff?

Or am I missing something?

You are probably right. Too bad this wasn't the simple reply and we could go on with our lives. I thought we were just shooting the breeze and all of a sudden people's credibility, loyalty, and friendships are on the line. Feel like I slid into a bad episode of a teenage soap opera. LOL

That's because the new people on the board don't realize this discussion has been going on since the beginning of time.

As a finless guys the steering related threads always remind me of this....

It quickly dissolves into personal bashing, tongue lashings and now the latest trend....safety lessons (of all things hypocritical ). When that happens I feel like doing this...

Or this....

Ultimately end up like this....

When in reality some people just need to step back from the computer and ....

I would also like to point out that some of the language being used on this thread is inexcusable even if you lack the vocabulary to express your self in a more appropriate manner perhaps you could ask for some assistance. It's really uncalled for and I am very disappointed that @swatski also repeated it.
So thank you in advance for not stooping to that level as it shines a bad light on the web page itself. I hate to see talents going to waste and I hear that someone else is experiencing some real issues with one of their reverse products so perhaps I can convince you to focus your efforts in that direction and make a needed contribution to the boating world. It's just a thought.

I think its time for the forum administration to move all vendors to their own section. Its a shame one arrogant ass has to ruin it. I think Will is a pretty good guy, but it is what it is.

Umm, the most offensive language in this thread has come out of your fingers.

Deflect much?

Now @swatski got spanked, who's up next. LOL I'm new around here but now I see why @octavio3311 grabbed the popcorn.

I’ve seen this 1 too many times with this dude.

I refrain from saying anything when it comes to these topics - actually - I’ve refrained a lot lately.

But I will say this - this is the 1 reason I buy my crap from Will.
Nuff said!

This was troll bait from the first post. He took the bait as expected. Maybe this needs to be shut down before someone's feelings get hurt.

I really dislike this guys style. His products are top notch, but his people skills need work.

I have been away way too long on the motorcycle forums thank god since i can't take the boat out but have been riding the bike daily. This is awesome fun! Let's keep the respect for our founding fathers like @swatski , @Cobra Jet Steering LLC , and others that have been integral to this board. I have to say that the title of this post had me startled regardless of whether there is some sound advice around nylon, rubbers, or other. God speed

Fished all day. Lateral thrusters worked with the Manum AK's with no problem. I made sure to put some heavy stress on the Cobras with high speed turns and such with about 4 hours of run time. Boat turned about the same without the mega fangs. The nylon bolt survived, so the bolt will not need a Go Fund Me drive or anything. I will be pulling them off later. I will examine the bolts for stress or wear then. They looked fine from a quick look.

Gotta love when Keyboard cowboys poke the bear in the cage then wondering why he acted that way.

In retrospect painting “Cock & Balls” on the side of your boat would have been less controversial

Probably more entertaining too! Then the debate about size, colors, accuracy would have ensued...

 

[the MfM]

I also replaced the stainless bolt with a nylon to act as a breakaway in the event I hit something. I will let everyone know if it holds under stress. Again, I don't need to be berated and called stupid. If I want to paint cock and balls eating a Happy Meal on the side of my boat, that is exactly what I will do. It's my boat.

For posterity’s sake and all.

Wow, 3 pages going on 4. I just want to know if my current fins and fangs set up will work with LTEs. If I ever buy LTEs I probably wouldn’t tell anyone, just don’t need to get in arguements on the internet. There is no point to it, it’s not like a lawsuit where there is a chance of being awarded some money. Just bragging rights or the ability to say I told you so. Life is to short for that S..t and my ignore button works just fine.

It works without the fangs.
