They use the stock hardware and the stock mounting points. Nothing gets drilled, and nothing hangs off the stern to catch on a log.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBonafide is the only kayak brand building hulls with dual skid plates, and the Flex Wings were designed around them. Turned inward, the wings manage the turbulent water coming off the stern. The boat holds a line better on a flatwater lake and stays more predictable in moving river current, so you spend fewer strokes correcting and more of them getting to the spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rubber is stiff enough to do the work and flexible enough to survive the ramp. Drag the hull across a gravel bar or paddle over submerged timber without worrying about tearing a fin off. Made in the USA, sold as a pair. Mounting hardware is not included, because the Flex Wings reuse the hardware already holding your skid plates on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cfo-cols\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bonafide RS117, EX123\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flexible molded rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Underneath the stock dual skid plates, using the stock hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade In:\u003c\/strong\u003e USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cfo-cols\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBetter Tracking:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wings face inward to manage the water coming off the stern, so the hull runs straighter with less correction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBolt-On Install:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mounts under the factory dual skid plates with the hardware already on the boat.

Turned inward, they give the hull something to track against, so the boat holds a line better on flatwater and stays more predictable in river current.

You are taking the skid plates off, putting the wings under them, and putting the same screws back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs mounting hardware included?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, and that is by design. The Flex Wings reuse the hardware already holding your skid plates on.

Stiff enough to do the work, flexible enough to survive the ramp. You can drag the hull across a gravel bar or paddle over submerged timber without tearing a fin off, which is more than a rigid skeg will take.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eFlex Wings or a rudder?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDifferent tools. A rudder steers and has cables, pedals and a blade to deploy. Flex Wings do not steer, have no moving parts, and never need deploying or rinsing out.
