S&G: Skeg for Pigmy Coho

Hi
I paddle a Pigmy Coho. I weigh 172lbs. In quartering seas I have some difficulty maintaning my course. I may be on the lower weight limit for this boat. The kayak god would come down heavy on me if I installed a rudder. Has anyone installed a skeg or a small keil section on the stern of this boat?
