The spikes in the felt higher then those on the pods ?
How would you make them the same height ?
I am guessing a washer on the pods and no washer on the felt.

yeah, ill add the washers when I get them

also, you screw the felt ones in a little tighter and it compresses the felt a little bit and goes in a little deeper, further leveling everything out (not crazy tight, just a little tighter)

I cant even see any height difference at all with the naked eye just doing what I did stated above

Cheap way out

Old pair of boots, instead of throwing them away. Throw as many 3/8 stainless hex head screws in them.

One box of 3/8 stainless screws, $12 per 100 = 2-seasons of fishing

ODM - I can say, not even close to the wearbars as I did that for a few weeks prior to getting the wearbars - Cheap & easy solution and perfectly fine for some areas but choose the wearbars when the need for grippiness increases

Wearbars =

Well, the machine screws are likely better than wearbars on the deck f your boat for example...

Mike, just get the Wearbars. I'm too old and weak to pull you out of the drink if you slip and go in.

With all of the boats and structures I have fallen off of fishing in the past, I still can't believe that I haven't fallen into the canal....
