In Response To: Re: Skeg Report (wysedav)

In some of the pictures I have posted you can see I just had the CF rod taped to the top flat edge of the skeg. That was just temporary for the pictures but actual placement location. I sanded in a small groove on the top edge if the skeg just deep enough to conceal most of the thickness of the rod. I then used epoxy to glue the rod into this groove. To ensure it stayed in place I ran a few patches of fiberglass cloth up the side of the skeg, over the rod and down the other side of the skeg, similar to the temporary tape in the pics. The FG patches where maybe 2"x1" or so. I wanted to keep the rod as close to the top surface as possible. I don't think I would trust CA myself.
