Can anyone elaborate on FCS installation. I saw an “installation kit” at EZFoam for $150, is this really neccessary? I’m sure I’m over simplifing, but what am I missing other than drilling a hole, like a leash plug, then insert. Well, the one part I’m unsure about is alignment, and that’s slightly important. Cheers,

Do some research and you can figure it out. Aloha, Kokua
here is an easy way. get the jigs for 17 bucks, its def worth it. then make a copy of one of hte boards you(or a friend) has with fcs. just take a piece of paper and trace the holes exact location while holding a straight edge of the paper on the stringer. it makes it perfect. then hole saw them into a piece of plywood that has a straight edge and take notice of the hole cutting depth and you dont have to worry about the 4 degree cause its all in the jig you made for 5 bucks. austin http://members.cox.net/austinsurfboards
