retractable skeg construction drawing

I finally got my construction drawings for my retractable skeg posted on my web page.

http://personal.nbnet.nb.ca/gas/kayak.htm

If anyone wants the cad drawings, I have them in dxf format, email me and I'll send them.

PS I used a 1/8" 7x7 stainless steel cable, next time I'll use a 1/8, 1x19 SS for greater stiffness(friction in the cable housing).

Also, the sheg blade is 1/4" plywood with 1/8" plywood re-enforcements at the pivot point and cable slot.
