Every year or so I remove the cable and run a citrus cleaner through the
tube. Then I clean the cable and apply a light coating of silicone grease to
the cable.

The only problem I`ve ever had with the skeg was when I leant the boat to a
beginner who promptly capsized then swam the boat ashore (in a small lake)
and dropped the boat on a fully extended skeg.

It took about 20 minutes to replace the kinked cable.
