Lbeale Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Hello Everyone, I hope you and your family members are well and safe. I have an old black Tahe that I have been using for years rolling practice. These boats have a longs keg - longer than the British boats most of us paddle. Skeg is part way down - kinda stuck in the middle. I have been using WD40 on the lines and gingerly trying to get it to draw all the ways up. Alas, it is still stuck in the middle. I don't want to take the keg box out and repair it nor do I want to spend money to have some one repair it. The boat is too old to invest any money into it. My question: Is there a better lubricant than WD40 I can use to get the skeg wires moving? Thanks for your help in advance, Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaKayakNE Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Hi Leslie, Likely the cable is pinched, no lubrication will fix this. The cable will need to be replaced. Usually on the older tahes the skeg and wire are all one piece so the whole thing would need replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
