First thread right (front) into the bracket.
The use of the skeg is recommended for standing waters, as it greatly improves the directional stability. It is usually not necessary on rivers. Nevertheless, some paddlers also use the skeg in white water, because this makes the packraft more stable (but also less manoeuvrable). As long as no constant ground contact is to be expected, there is nothing against the use in such situations.
First insert the skeg with its front end (front is the collapsing, flat part) into the front part of the recording, then thread the rear part of the scg (rear is the part with the fuse hole) into the rear part of the recording and slide the skeg all the way to the back. The Skeg is now secured when driving forward, as it cannot slip backwards. However, be careful not to push the boat backwards on the ground, as the Skeg can loosen in the process. In addition, the Skeg can be secured with a string on the fitting.
When landing in a surf, when the boat moves back and forward while swerving on the ground, the skeg is easily lost if it is not secured.
