I got a new fin, it's a tuttlebox fin, but the board has a deep tuttlebox finbox. It seems to fit okay, and I got some new bolts, so it seems to be held in okay as well. Sits a bit further in the board on the front (maybe a mm or two) but otherwise seems to hold on okay. Is it a terrible idea to sail with it? It's not really wobbly or anything otherwise curious.
Tuttle fin in deep tuttle box works fine, but if you hit something hard like a turtle or a log, you can destroy the fin and do serious damage to the box. Been there done that. P.S. You can have a bit of fun removing the fin in that case as well.

Yep had that happen before though if it was a deep tutttle fin it could have been even more damage. I was at full speed when i hit somthing hard under the surface when straight over the front. So either way it cost money.
Sweet, thanks for your help, advice and stories. Def gonna try this one out on the water now, rather than just putting it in the board in the garage and tapping it and gonig... "hmmmmm", in a contemplative and uncertain longing manner. :P
