The small hole/ string idea works well.  I have run a short piece of 1/16"
ss rudder cable thru and made a loop that worked well and I've seen 1.5mm
cord used, as well.  This AND a skeg tool of some sort and you're all set.

The idea of a flap or cover for the skeg box is a grand idea.  If only we
could figure out a SIMPLE way to do it that would be bombproof.  Not sure on
the drag created with a skeg box but I've heard it's substantial,
hydro-dynamically speaking.
