Re: [Paddlewise] Foil-shaped skegs

The existing skeg had three holes drilled into the skeg for the cable
connection. One 1/4" hole about 3/4" in from the "peak" of the skeg.  
The other two were 1/8" holes that intersected at about a 30* angle,
and at the bigger hole.  The skeg cable is shoved into its hole, and
into the bigger hole.  A SS machine bolt is run into the second 1/8"
hole so that it intersects and crimps the cable at the 1/4" hole.

Let's see if I can ASCII art this:


                 Skeg Cable                       
                   V
