FCS II Fin Plugs

Description

FCS II Fin Plugs

FCS II Fin Plugs are for use with all new FCS II fins, however they will also fit the older-style FCS two-tab surfboard fins.

The FCS II plug system requires no grub screws. It is an efficient key-less system for fin installation and release. It is therefore easy to insert and remove fins in just a matter of seconds. As a result, you can adapt your surfboard to the conditions on the day with no hassle.

The fin plugs have a recessed leading edge which gives a flush base connection. Consequently this improves water flow.

FCS II plugs give a solid connection between fin and surfboard. Equally there is a seamless transition between the fin and board surface.

The construction of the fin plug uses a corrosion resistant titanium tension rod and a rotating, wear-resistant polymer barrel. When the surfboard fin is inserted into the fin plug, the barrel interacts with a groove detail in the fin to lock it into place creating a secure fit.

Testing has been done on the FCS II Fin System (over 4,000 cycles of installing & then removing the fin). The FCS II system should outlast the board in normal conditions.

FCS II Fin Plug Setup Options

FCS II fin plugs come with the following cant (angle in degrees the fin leans out) options built in to them:

• 0º
• 3º
• 5º
• 9º

Below lists common uses for the different degree fin plugs:

• 0º – centre fins
• 3º – quad rear fins/longboard trailer fins in surfboards with little concave
• 5º – quad rear fins/longboard trailer fins in boards with heavy concave or thruster side fins in boards with little concave
• 9º – thruster side fins in boards with heavy concave
