Last week I bought a used board from a local sailor which was a light carbon 120 liter board (10 years old) but in "Mint" condition!
I've never seen a "used" board in such Great Shape! However when I put it to use...the fin screw was the "rustiest" fin screw that I've ever seen!
I was already at a lake (Hall Lake in Fairmont) and had no other fin screw to fit,,so I used the crusty rusty screw and it worked just fine.
I immediately identified this screw to "not" being a stainless steel screw. So: when I got home I cut one of my stainless steel 100 cms screw down to the appropriate size.
It fits great. This Wonderful board deserves a wonderful "Stainless steel" fin screw.
