Just got a 2021 Outback, and guess what, the brass inserts don't align...
In the manufacturing you got 2 inserts off by at least 1/8 of an inch. I can't get more than 2 bolts in. So disappointed that a $3200 kayak failed at something like this. There is no ability to get all the bolts in at all....
