It seems like every time I turn around another one of the pads is coming unstuck! You guys have any secrets to keep these this stuck down good?

I think some people used a dab of contact cement but you may search it first.

I have tacked down several corners with superglue and never had it reoccur. It wouldn't be my 1st choice in adhesive, but it always in the boat for first aid anyway.

yeah I have a few spots too, after 200+ hours and now 2 years. I am glad I have the deck track though, I cant imagine not having it... the problems with slipping would be nuts.

I think in a couple years, I may have all the deck track areas, if they all come up, rhino lined instead. That would last for a long time and would not peel up.

I have 40+ hours on mine and a couple of corners are popping up. I can't imagine not having them though, they really do come in handy.

I used a little gorilla glue when mine started. Haven't had an issue yet. I was a little hesitant cause I didn't want the glue to get that scorch affect on the gel coat.
