The PowerPlate makes it simple to bolt any windsurf board with a Powerbox style fin-box (or Tuttle or Deep Tuttle) to the common 4-Hole plate pattern found on most kite and windsurf foils today.
Use the included bolts to screw the PowerPlate to the 4-Hole plate on your foil
Mount to your windsurf board through the fin-box using your current fin-bolt(s).
Fore & Aft fine tuning can be done with the multiple mounting hole system. Forward = quicker lift, Backward = slower lift
The PowerPlate is made from 2 pieces of solid aluminum and includes an attached 3/16" foam padding for your board bottom.
User Instructions:
Be sure to use a Metric 6mm fin-bolt.
Be cautious not to cross-thread the fin-bolt
Be sure to get a least 12 complete turns into the PowerPlate. (Max # of turns is 16 or 3/4"). You may need a longer screw.
Be certain to tighten the fin bolt hard enough to compress the foam. Check & tighten as needed.
If your board has a big V-bottom, add extra foam to outer plate edges to add lateral stiffness.
Use a leash regardless of your foil/fin-box setup. Impact with a log or other could cause your foil to sink.
Adjust the head or plate mounting bolts to your preferred fore/aft position.
Wing Forward=More lift
Wing Rearward=Less lift (better learning)
Notes: Now fits Naish Foils hole alignment plus others! See image detailing spacing between holes to determine compatibility.
The PowerPlate has a 12 month warranty against manufacturers' defects. This does not include damage from impact or loss/damage to your foil or board regardless of impact or not.
