centreboard has a forward curve so it should kick up if hitting shallow mud or sand banks, rudder has the same, suggestions are more than welcome. :up:

finding the time to do all the mods is difficult, yesterday I made a pact with myself, get a quote done for a customer that wants an electric outboard and mounts fitted with two separate batteries, one for the fish finder and a bigger one for the motor, I also had two kayaks to repair, the deal was, get it all done and go fishing Sunday, well all great plans do not work all the time so as I didn't finish the last repair I did it today.

The repair was in the drive well of kayak and very difficult to get to, good thing is I may not have got out fishing but I did get to read some awesome reports and am sipping a few quiet ales :up:
