not sure what you mean mate. Usually you just slot the fins in to the fcs/future plug. Unless you mean you are installing your own skegs or have a fin box that allows you to move the fin forward or back :? You are going to have to elaborate on that :wink:

I thought a scag was some sleazy chick you met at a bar when closing while drunk and woke up next to...

A skeg I understand.

norcalsurf, do you mean you had glassed on fins, one or more broke off, and you want to replace them? Glassing them on is easy enough - it's aligning them that is very tough. I would get a professional to do it. I've tried it a number of times and the board rode really poorly.
