Pretty concise. In my experience though, when I ram shore or
rocks, the skeg just gets pushed up into the housing. It has
gotten jammed with pebbles, but only once to the point I
couldn't work it free from inside the boat.

Maintenance question: what should I do? I have the cable
type (Caribous S); I flush it as well as I can after salt
water contact, and try to spray WD40 up the little tube. Is
there a more effective regime?
