Thanks, but as I'm in Ireland I doubt I'll ever get over your way. As for the skeg it came out with minimal effort. Put in 5mm bungee, but I'm thinking that's going to be to much oomph. Get some 4mm today and hopefully some new suitable rope.

Jim Snyder you are a superstar.

Thanks Jim, I can only see the two rear holes. How do you access the front hole? Dismantle the blade? Thanks.

Hi, I realize this is an old thread, but here goes anyways... I just bought an old Explorer with the rope skeg. My problem is there was no bungee cord attached so I'm a bit blind as to how it operates. I see there are two holes in the skeg close together. One has the rope to the deck and the other I assume is for the bungee cord. Is that correct? Thanks and appreciation.
