Joining Rib for old Bay
I have the original Bay and while fighting to get the new channel seams onto the kayak, I managed to snap it's old joining rib. :-( I had another rib on the Bay+ snap due to old age and too much weight upon it. The new one is thicker (maybe by half as much?) ad the old one. This caused some problems installing and using it initially, since the screws that go through the holes were too tight to be able to maneuver the rib. Loosening the screws fixed that problem, although I have one that tends to fall out because of that. The grooves in it seem to be the wrong-way around, as the old rib attached on the right side and swings to the left. This may have been easier to use if it was attached on the left side and swung to the right. The old rib had no grooves in it to confirm. I'm hoping the new ribs will last longer than the old ones.
