I realize many people "pooh, pooh" rudders. But? Don't have the problems of it sticking and it doesn't interfere with packing my boat for trips. I guess you can call me "old school"! Kirby -----Original Message----- Paddlewisers, Once a buddy's skeg was jammed, and he had a string tied to it. I pulled on the string, and the skeg was jammed so tight that when I was finally able to pull it loose, I accidentally yanked the skeg down farther than it is supposed to go, causing the screw at the adjustment knob to become stripped on the cable. For the rest of the crossing, I had to occasionally reach under the stern and manually adjust the skeg as conditions changed.
