For kayaks made before 2010. Repair a bent or kinked skeg cable. This 7x7 cable (1/8 inch diameter) is for use with Wilderness Systems, Dagger and Perception brand sea kayaks, circa 2000 – 2010, outfitted with a drop down tracking fin. Might also work on other makes and models of kayaks (most likely to fit North America made kayaks, may not necessarily fit imported kayaks that may take a smaller metric diameter). This cable does not come with instructions, see video link. 7x7 = seven bundles of seven strands. This cable is best used for Confluence Watersports (Wilderness Systems, Perception and Dagger) sea kayaks, such as the Wilderness Systems Tempest, Perception Essence and the Dagger Alchemy circa 2000 - 2010. (Part number 9800233) The cable is 8 feet long (1/8 inch diameter). PRE2010WSSKEG
