Made the 5/8th 1/4-20 screw tonight and attempted to install the reed plate. Since this thread is for someone else to potentially learn from I will post my worst mistake to date.
I miss read http://www.maxrules.com/fixforcetorque.html and put too much torque on the top screw and cracked the reed plate :faint:. In the picture you will see the slotted screw with cracked plate and the philips screw at the correct torque and the plate intact.
Not my most shining moment.
It is currently 18 degrees here with 20 mph winds so I dont think I would be outside reconnecting to the lower unit anyway.
