With the other style though, have a look at the Tote Rite STR8.  It has stabilizer bars so you don’t have to bother with steering clips.</p>

One tip is to tie a string to your wrench when tightening them up, in case you drop it inside the hull. I have never had one with only two bolts holding it.  Sometimes you have to remove one of the side panels of the troller to find the other two.</p>
