    Default spyderlok mounting help


    Went out to try long lining for the first time ever. I have spyderloks. The water was very rough on Lake Jordan and the beating from the water jarred loose a couple of the mounting plates. What could I do to secure them?

    The 4 screws that hold the bracket down to the floor came loose?

    The screws are installed into what? Plywood, aluminum, fiberglass? Also, do you have carpet in your boat?

    Sounds like your pilot holes were drilled too big in your floor for your screws...Get some bigger screws.

    Maybe put a plastic anchor in the hole to help it bite better

    If you are able to get to the underside try lock nuts and different bolts. That’s what I did on my pontoon with an aluminum deck.
