    Installed one on my catch 100, what a diffetence!!
    So much more stability, as well as tracking.
    Thanks again for inspiration

    This skeg does correct tracking on catch 100.
    Thanks for this video.

    Papatechie, You are right the Pelican Catch 100 needs to have a skeg. Can you tell me the dimension size of the block you made out the cutting board?

    That's probably what i'll do, put a rudder on. i'm going to wait for the c-100 pedal so it will come with it's own rudder.

    How is the stability for you? Respectfully ... you seem like a pretty big guy. Can you stand up in it on the water? Or does it feel tippy?

    • @papatechie
      @papatechie  5 років тому +2

      Actually, I got it to help lose weight without added knee stress and have been mainly focused on paddling different spots from creeks, lakes and the ocean. Did not stand up yet because i had no desire to but it feels stable by the two hull pontoon design.

      When ocean kayaking it will displace water should a disaster occur.

    After 6 months have you done anything different with the skeg? From the video it didn't look like much of the skeg was submerged when you deployed it.

    Its not a skeg.. Its a rudder

    • @OJA1965
      @OJA1965 2 роки тому

      But he is using it as a skeg, and having just bought the Catch 100 myself, it needs it. I think this is better than putting a skeg on the bottom. I want to do something similar, but I don't want to drill
