: Hi All, I've been away from the computer and the shop for a few
: days (serious hand injury from a very heavy extension ladder).
: This is what I came up with for a skeg, it's a piece of sapele
: 1/4in thick 3/4in wide and 18in long tapered,before I secure it
: I would like some
: feed back if the deminions are right and what's good to secure it
: with so it can be removed later as always Thanks Nick R.

Easy way to try it is duct tape, holds just fine in the water if it's applied dry.

I'd round the corners and try it.
