RETRACTABLE SKEG
Some Wave Sport kayaks have a retractable skeg
to help aid in boat control. The deployment of
the skeg helps balance the boat to the specific
conditions by adding more tracking at the stern of
the boat. Experiment with different skeg positions
to find the best balance point.
RETRACTABLE SKEG OPERATION
Rope skeg- Find the lanyard on the right side of the
deck just behind the cockpit. Lift and release the ball
out of the cleat to drop the skeg down. Gravity and
the weight of the skeg blade allows it to deploy. Pull
the ball forward to raise the skeg and re-cleat after
adjustment is made.
Skeg system design may vary from image above
