The strap on skeg (which BTW can be used on any kayak hardshell or folding) is quite shallow in its protrusion below the kayak. You could just leave it on as it helps with any boat that may tend to weathercock. I don't think it can overcompensate. ralph-- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .
