: Does anyone have a link to a good tutorial on building a skeg/box/control.

Just spent the last couple days modifying my skeg controls. My original build used a constant tension set-up utilizing internal bungees to extract the skeg. I had rigged up an 'toothed' control device out of PVC pipe to adjust the skeg position. This simply attached to the end of a bicycle cable housing and lay on the cockpit floor, not very convenient w/ a spray skirt on. At the time, we were using the boats often and I didn't want to sacrifice time cutting more holes in our boats.

Took the time this week, considered the KISS approach, and converted from the tensioned system to a simple push-pull cable. Also made the control knob accessible from outside the cockpit. Posting a pic of the skeg boxes prior to installation. I'll try to get a pic or two tomorrow of the finished work. If this looks like something your interested in, gladly discuss w/ you in more detail.
