: I am failing to understand the mechanics of a skeg, especially the
: removable slot and why the skeg does not fall off the boat :)
: Does it deploy from back to front or front to back? To me a
: picture is worth a 1000 words, could someone direct me to a
: drawing of the mechanics from actuator to deployment of skeg.
: Thank you
