Here is how it works:
 |
1. Bolt brackets to deck. Brackets, bolts and nuts are included with stabilizer. Optional rubber nuts: If bolting where you have no access to back side, no problem -- use rubber expansion nuts (well nuts) $5 set of 4. Buy Rubber Nuts Now Optional extra pair deck brackets ($10) Buy Extra Brackets Now This is the only part that is permanently installed on your kayak.
