-----Original Message----- From: Joan Spinner [SMTP:jspinner_at_peoplepc.com] Have you suggested it to CD or anyone? It seems to me a big issue would be how to attach it so that the point of attachment isn't the weak spot. Maybe something recessed that uses an allen wrench to replace it. I can see it getting pulled off on a very regular basis if it isn't just right, but it is an appealing idea. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No, I thought of it just before I wrote it. Here are a couple of other thoughts: (1) The protective strip would have to be flexible enough not to interfere with the deployment of the skeg. (2) It could interfere with the hydrodynamics of the deployed skeg and add significant drag. The latter could doom the whole idea. On my to-do list is drilling a small hole in the skeg near the end that could be used to pry the skeg out with a screwdriver if there were a significant jam.
