I just installed some in my Pygmy Arctic Tern 14. It went well, just follow the instructions. I decided to install SeaDog rudder pedals and discovered that the footbrace studs that Pygmy sells were too short. I had to grind them off and install new ones that come with the SeaDog pedals. Something to think about! It wouldn't be fun doing this after you get the deck attached to the hull! I didn't realize there were different lengths of these footbrace studs. Something to think about. The studs I've installed seem very strong so far.
