Default RE: Problem positioning Superstar on Falcon floats

Just a hint on installing the float mounts on the Falcon floats: When installing the post in the float ( that the screws go into ) be sure you SCORE each post and then fill the hole (in the float ) for the post with glue ( I use epoxy and wipe the excess off with alcohol ). By scoring the post you give the glue something to grab onto and by filling the hole with glue you give it a chance to expand under the plastic and make a more secure bond.

If you have already mounted the mounts I suggest you put a screw in each post and give a bit of a tug just to see if it held OK. As far as I know it hasn't been a problem but this does make for cheap insurance. ENJOY !!! RED

Scoring: take your hobby knife and just cut little gashes all over the post, a dremel tool also works.
