Re: bent steering fin

Wayne,<br />That fin is the skeg. It's made of very brittle material and can be broken easily. I have heard of applying some heat to them and straightening them back out.<br />There is another option that you can cut the bent part off and replace it with a bolt on skeg. <br /> If it were mine and it's not causing a problem, I'd leave it alone.
