Sevylor Skeg

We've took our inflatable Sevylor kayak out for an entire season before buying this skeg. Since adding the skeg this summer, we've enjoyed our kayak so much more. It's easier to paddle in a straight line, plus we no longer spin in a circle if we stop paddling. --It was definitely worth the money!

This product fit into the place provided on my Sevylor inflatable kayak and made a night-and-day difference. Whereas previously the kayak was difficult to impossible to control, it now wants to go in a straight line. It's awesome!

We bought our Sevylor kyak used and it came without a skeg. Without it the kyak wanders a bit, but with it the kyak tracks much better.

Purchased a used one and I have used it a few times in a lake over the last few years. It's been very durable and I love it's flexibility - I can tie it with a rope to the top of a Civic or store it in the trunk. I have used it without the skeg and have found it to be fine. At the lake, I have been asked many times where did I get it from.

You need this if you don't want your kayak to just spin in circles. I use this to catch waves and surf the kayak and its rad! I thought it would be janky since it just slips into a slot but it makes the difference in this kayak being almost non-functional to a good lil kayak!

I bought this skeg, along with the Sevylor Tahiti inflatable 2 people kayak, mainly because of all the positive reviews of people saying that it is a must-have. So the wife and I get to the lake ready to take off and where is the skeg? In the kitchen table, just where I left it. Dooh!I was not about to drive back home so we gave the skeg-less kayak a try. It is true what everyone has been saying; the darn thing was going everywhere but straight. Neither my wife nor me had ever been in a kayak so it was like and episode of Seinfeld with us telling each other what to do and the boat doing the totally opposite of what we predicted. Needless to say, we yelled at each other for a while and ended up in a huge water fight with the paddles. I lost, but only because I was in the front and could not reach to get to her without feeling like the kayak would tip over.After awhile we got the hang of it and learn to anticipate when the kayak was about to start spinning. We were almost moving in a straight line toward our intended destination on the lake, but it was more like sliding left, sliding right, sort of like ice skating on a kayak. That day it was 95+F so it felt great being cool in the lake. We had a blast the whole four hours we were there. Well, maybe only the final two or three.The next day, the first thing I packed was the skeg. We gave it a try but did not really noticed any improvement. Maybe it was because we learned the previous day how to synchronize our strokes?I only inserted the skeg below the splash guard. It flaps around quite a bit. It seems that the slightest amount of pressure on either side makes it flap left or right. The skeg has a sharp pointy thing that it seems should go into a loop in the kayak where a rope holding the splash shield is tied. I tried to put the pointy thing through the loop but it seemed like it may puncture the kayak, so I didn't.The only instructions of how to attach the skeg to the kayak is a picture, and I think it shows that the pointy end should not go through the loop on the kayak, but am not too certain. They certainly could be a bit clearer.If I could do it all over, I probably buy the kayak first, and after seeing that we did not have any problems going in a particular direction, forget about the skeg.It is our first kayak ever, inflatable or had-shell, so I do not discount that our ignorance is the culprit.

Our Tahiti HF was very difficult to keep true when using it on flat water. The skeg has completely resolved the problem. No installation instructions come with it, so just study the picture to figure out how to put it on the deflated kayak.

Let's cut to the chase--- if you want to go in a straight line instead of around in circles; if you want to get where you're headed to instead of somewhere else; if speed on the water is important to you--- GET THIS for your inflatable kayak! 'Nuff said!

L'ho trovata ad un buon prezzo dopo che era sparita dallo store per un lungo tempo. Migliora decisamente la stabilità della canoa Seylor Riviera in mio possesso. è molto facile da montare. Non leggerissima, ma per questo robusta, ma si porta tranquillamente in una sacca con la canoa. Consigliata per quelle tipologie d e marche di canoe indicate.

Easy to use, sturdy even with multiple groundings remained secure and operational. A must for the Tahiti Plus

After owning a Tahiti for more than 20 years and getting little use out of it, this skeg makes a hug difference. Kayak paddles much straighter and is far more pleasant to use. My Tahiti is fairly old so I have to fold down a bit of the boat for it to fit, but once everything is inflated the fit is tight, straight and stable. Has reasonable depth in the water when I'm in the kayak. A little pricey but I'm happy with the purchase.

Creo que es fundamental para el kayak Tahiti Plus Pro debido a su eslora de gran tamaño, la quilla parece fuerte y resistente con buena adaptación, todo un acierto.

Hurra! Wir fahren geradeaus😊 waren am verzweifeln weil wir uns ständig in Kreis bewegten. Also habe ich in diese Finne investiert und bin begeistert. Was so ein Stück Hartplastik am Heck des Bootes bewirkt. Leicht zu montieren. Hält sehr gut. So macht das Boot Fahren wieder Spaß
