My boat was real bad tracking. I put on this temperary foam skeg about 4' long and it track 100% better. I cut it backabout 10" and it still tracked about 90% as well and I cut it back again and I would say it tracked 85% better then without it. I still haven't made a perminate fix yet because I have a retractable skeg ready to install if I decide to go that way.
