Quick look at my Paluski Spirit Kayak skeg fix . I eliminated the plastic straps and 1/4" bolts that allowed the skeg to fishtail and attached the skeg directly with a 3/8" bolt spacer sleeve and washers. Huge improvement to the tracking of the boat now. Test paddle was at Earl Rowe provincial park near Alliston Ontario . The small lake is part of the Boyne river. ( A tributary of the Nottawasaga river. )
