FCS fin does not sit flush in fin box
« on: May 11, 2016, 09:40:33 AM »
Hi all,

I decided to switch from thruster to quad setup on my sunova flow and noticed one quad fin does not sit flush in the fin box.  I tried another fin same problem.  So the issue is the fin box.  Anything I can do to fix this or is the only solution to sand down the fin inserts?

Thanks, Ken

You could buy a new board  ;)

Any time I've had issues with a fin not sitting right, I've sanded it down and that has always worked for me.

  I had that happen on a board once.  A small piece of fiberglass was inside the box.  It was really hard to see but a gentle "Chip" from a small screw driver and the fiberglass came out.  As good as new after that.  It may not be your problem but worth a look.  Hope it's an easy fix for you?
