Loose fin?

[SpecialK]

Quick question: I just installed a Becker race fin on a Bark Dominator. Should it wobble (side to side), or is something off?

Nevermind, it seems common and could just need a shim. Thanks!

Yep. Shim. I use thin celluloid.

It's a fairly common issue and I usually cut up an aluminum soft drink can so I end up with a piece about 4" x 2" and wrap it around the base of the fin and push the fin back down into the box.

My center fin is also very loose in the fin box.  I mean really loose, both side to side, and forward/backward.  Even when tightening the screw all the way down, I can slide the fin backward and forward with a little hand pressure.  I have a factory/cheap fin and looking to upgrade.  Do you think there is potential an upgrade will provide a more "snug" fit or should I be prepared for the shim no matter what based on the fin box design?
