Quote History Quoted:
The Gen 1 tube uses the cooling holes to mount the rail sections, using a retaining nut that goes inside the tube, and sticks out of the holes, the rail sections are then attached with screws. It's a nice, light weight float tube, but it's a pain to place the sections, MI included a long wooden dowel, and double sided tape to place the nuts, then, I used another dowel to hold the nuts in place while installing the screws. The Gen 2 has cooling slots, with threaded holes set along them, to install rail sections, just place the section where you want it, then install the screws. They also install differently, the gen 1 uses a jam nut, and a sets crew to lock it in place, the gen 2 uses the same method as the other brands.
