I used a two block system in my Artic Tern and it worked great. I would offer two suggestions. 1: If you're using a two block system, epoxy it in place with the keeper attached. That way you're certain to have the screws lined up. 2: Once you have applied the epoxy and positioned the keeper, tape it VERY securely in place before adding weights.
