: This being so, what keeps the skeg facing straight forwards
: rather than flopping off to one side or the other and acting as a rudder?

I'm attaching a picture from my NDK Romany, a company that skill uses this type of skeg commercially. The bungee runs on both sides of the skeg, which keeps it centered. You can also see the slot in the skeg box that holds the free floating axle in place. One could narrow the remaining skeg box to blade width and this would reduce the rocks jammed.
