I was concerned about paint abrasions, so I place a fiber washer between each side of the “U” shackle and the fin. Takes a little longer to install the shackle, but the ventral fin still looks new.Diamond_Dan wrote: ↑Wed Mar 11, 2020 12:02 am Same here but I have noticed some silver-gray rub marks around the hole.
