: Dan,

: DID send skeg install notes on very first one. Stll have the
: "sent" email to you.
: ASSumed you figured things out on the last one.

: The cable WOULD NOT kink from as per your supplied specs ... I
: would never something out out that would not work 100 %.

: I built a box that was LESS than your supplied spec to simulate the
: part in situ before sending it out to make sure of this.

: Something must have been lost in translation of your spec to me vs.
: your actual install .....

: The notch was more than enough for lifelong function of the skeg
: and had extra room ... By make it bigger you have now created a
: scenario where the inner portions of the fork legs are now
: rubbing on the blade every paddle stroke. If it aint broke,
: don't fix it Dan.

: Question ... As per above, why would you pull the tube if you
: determined the CABLE to have a problem ? If you had a problem
: you should have called me. The instructons ( that I now realize
: I should have sent you for a second time ) also clearly state to
: NOT pull the tube off the nipple.

: Something else weird to me, in this:
: http://www.kayakforum.com/cgi-bin/Building/index.cgi/page/1/md/read/id/199487/sbj/material-calling-dan-caouette-onno-skeg/
: above you state that you did not remove the blade yet now you
: are now stating you DID in fact remove it. I know its not the
: other one as you are talking about the notch + you would not be
: able to even work on the notch without removing the blade.

: The direction of the clamp IS important and DOES matter to this
: person ... If its backwards or twisted, not only can one never
: get to it with along screwdriver, the extra 'tail' from the
: excess hose clamp is no longer 'hiding' behind the backside of
: the housing and mounting nipple and is now possibly a sharp edge
: in there that might puncture float bags or snag soft cargo.

: Also as per the instructions and our recent phone conversation ...
: I state(d) to use a bead of epoxy to tack the box in place and
: seal the lower perimeter .."Hot glue" Whether sealed
: or not, has no place on these skegs.
