Just did this mod to my Pelican Catch 100 classic and the difference is amazing. She be steady now.

Just finished putting one on my catch 120. Game changer.

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

I have been really trying to find a way to keep it from turning all the time. Thanks for your video it works well.

Looks way better! Well done. This is the only thing I want to add, much needed improvement.

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

Nicely done! Thank you for sharing the info.

Thanks, much needed with catch 100

Glad it worked!

Nice job!

Great job

Great idea Is there a way to mount on 2013 Pro Angler Thx Cliff

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.

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 awesome I just bought the same kayak and it did not want to stay on track. What did that skag run u

Nice!

Looks well thought out - good job! How has this held up after a year? Anything you'd change?

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?

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.

Where did you find this?

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.

Haven't changed anything and it works great for me.

Why is there orange pool noodle inside the hull?

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

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
