I just installed Grand Slams on my boat. So far, here's what I've observed: The threading on the mounts that accept the handles are very soft. I bent my when, installing them and had to pull the entire mount off the deck. Taco offered to rethread them if I wanted to send them back to the facotry, but they couldn't guarantee me a turn-around time. Instead, I had a local machine shop with the proper die, fix them. The other thing that I have noticed is that the outrigger poles tend to rotate in the mounts while underway. It's not bad, unless you can't reach the mounts easily to correct them.
