Hi Guys, I just purchased the Hobie H-Rail Bolt On Kit 9" for my Outback. What size drill bit should be used to install this? I was looking for a youtube Video or some PDf instructions from Hobie. Hobie is good for posting things like this but I didnt find anything. Thanks! |

The provided screws are 1/4-20, so a 1/4 inch bit should do it. |

Thanks mmiller for the quick reply. I wanted to be sure before I put holes in my new outback LE. Can't wait to install. |

can you post picture after you install it. Would like to see how it is since I'm looking at this. Thanks. |

To prevent leaks I use a drill two sizes smaller than the screw. The screw then becomes a 'tap' which cuts it's own threads into the plastic, making for a water tight seal. |
