Post subject:  How To Properly Install Kick-Up Turbo Fins?

Hi all,

I'm installing a Kick-Up Turbo Fin on my Kick-Up Fin Mirage Drive 180, and I need to know whether I should use Blue (or another color) Loctite on the Hex Screw that holds the Fin to the Mirage Drive.

I couldn't find a Tutorial for my Mirage Drive, and in this video for a non-Kick-Up Fin Mirage Drive, Blue Loctite is used, but the Assembly is significantly different compared to the Kick-Up Fin Mirage Drive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yf285iaV2G8

These Amazon Reviews don't mention the use of Loctite, but I thought I should check with Hobie for the right information. Especially considering how expensive the Turbo Fin Kit is, I don't want to lose the Fins somehow:

Here's one of the Amazon Reviews: "Love it! Super easy to install. You dont even have to take out the mast. It come as a set unit, just unscrew, swap new one, screw it back in and you're done. 4 star for the price lol."

Let me know, thanks.
