Abstract

A securing arrangement for securing a water craft fin to a water craft having a fin plug, the fin plug having a first open cavity configured to receive a base portion (4018) of the water craft fin. The securing arrangement includes a resilient biasing rod (4030) and a protruding member (4035) cooperating with the biasing rod (4030). The protruding member (4035) is adapted to actuate when the base portion (4018) of the fin is inserted into the first open cavity of the fin plug so that the biasing rod (4030) and the protruding member (4035) inhibit removal of the fin from the first open cavity.
