| Review: | The keepers foot braces are a pretty decent product , but for my use , they had one problem. I bought them to replace the footbraces on an older WS Tarpon 120 . While they look similar to the original WS ones , and use exactly the same bolt pattern , they won't work for this unless you modify the pegs . The Keepers pegs have these "fins" (I don't know what else to call them) that stick out on either side , next to the part that slides along the rails . They don't serve to strengthen the pegs , or any other function that I can determine . Anyway , with the rails installed in the original WS position , these "fins" hit the hull , at the bottom of the recess that the rail fits in , and the rail won't sit low enough to match up the bolt holes . The answer is to grind or cut off the fin . It can be done with a Dremel tool or a very fine handsaw . Once this is done , the rail fits perfectly in the original WS position , and Bob's-yer-Uncle :~) Make sure you cut off the needed fins , so the pegs are a mirror image of each other - Only the lower fin on each peg needs cutting . Put a peg on a rail and place it in position on the boat , and it becomes obvious . Good luck . | ||||

| Review: | product is very good. only problem, no instructions were included. I had to guess where to install the foot braces, how high or low and how far forward. I had to guess. | ||||
