I recently took my Dagger Katana 10.4 on a kayak camping trip that had a bit of whitewater. I went to drop my skeg after running a Class II rapid and it was already down, even though I had raised it before the entrance to the rapid. The boat is 4 years old and I've used it pretty heavily, as it's my primary boat. I inspected the cleat and I'm surprised that it engaged any of the skeg line at all. Replacement was cheap and easy enough. I looked up a few DIY tips, but they were pretty involved with quite a few steps that made it sound like it would take an hour or two, or more. I basically raised the skeg and secured it to the hull with gorilla tape, removed the cleat screws, clamped vise grips on the line where it enters the cockpit as an extra security measure, removed the knot, pull tab and washer, fit the new cleat over the line, replaced the washer, pull tab a tied a new knot. Took roughly 20 minutes, most of which was spent securing the skeg line and unknotting the original knot. I can probably do it in 10 minutes next time.
