Tuttle to Plate adapter - issue

Post by Bobson »

Hey, just a heads up. I purchased a brand new Deep Tuttle to Plate adapter and it seemed to work fine on Thursday but after checking it over this morning I found one of the bolts attaching the adapter to the Deep Tuttle head was bent. I almost always check the gear, just like this morning as I was planning a trip to IV in hopes of wind. They were the bolts provided with the adapter. Mostly this is a public service announcement to always check the connections when using foils as the pressure exerted on the connections are immense. Bent or broken bolts could mean a long swim or lost foil or worse.
Hope this helps.
Good Times,
BOBSON!!
