We kayak fish quite a bit in saltwater and I didn't think the plating on that hardware would last long. It should be okay for 'true' freshwater, but even our…"
james p shank replied to Jeremy Peake's discussion square nuts to fit SlideTrax rail"Talking to a buddy of mine who is a woodworker like me and he said, "did you notice that the nutz to fit the slide trax look just like the ones for the router tables?"
