FishPro - Install Bollhoff PlusNut Fastener to Hull Fiberglass

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ส.ค. 2024
- I mount my racks directly to the fiberglass hull. Started out using helicoil 6 mmx 1, but those wallowed out, and did not give me enough of a positive engagement and securement of the racks to the ski. I show how to install a coordinated-to-the-hull-thickness Steel Zinc Nickel plated PlusNuts to create a 6 mmx 1 threaded insert that holds fast.
Correction - The ski fiberglass is .312 inches ( 7.9248mm ) not the 3/8", I mentioned in the video. You have to get a Insert that has a compatible grip range to match the thickness of your material. Caution - Use a fastener that has a grip range matched to the thickness of the material you are fastening to, or else the fastener, if too small a grip range, can crack the fiberglass. the range on thes fastener used is 7.10 -12.70 but it worked super.

Thanks for the comment about what these things are actually called - PlusNut.

These are not stainless, then are steel Zinc Nickel plated.
Love your video and the thought process while doing it.
Thanks - Sometimes I think I am just lazy or easily frustrated and that is the reason why I try to do all these things - to make my life easier.
Great way of attaching things. Thanks for the video.
You bet!
im in need of these but cant figure out the ordering
Just FYI, it's not a RivNut they are called Plusnuts.
I see what you are meaning. Thanks for the clarification

Corrected in the text - Thanks again
When is your next trip ?
My ski is in the shop awaiting a fuel pump module that has to be shipped in from Canada. Don't don't know exactly when that will arrive and be installed and be tested but hopefully fully sometime before the weather turns cool
