what is the skeg system

Just a small plastic keel that snaps in the bottom to help guide it straight. Great video on YouTube that shows it. Just search for intex K2 Explorer.

08/19/2013 Mr. Joyner's comment re: Intex plastic skeg (rudder) is totally correct. The skeg fell off the first time I used the kayak. It's lost in the river somewhere. I received the same response from Intex.... backordered with no ETA. They told me to call back in 2 weeks.

The skeg is a plastic rudder that attaches to the bottom of the kayak to help it go straight. If you read the reviews you learn like we did that the skeg falls of usually the first time in the water. If you contact Intex they will tell you that the part #11650 is on back order and will be available July 15th, 2013 (yesterday) Of course upon checking, they now say they have no idea when the skeg will be available. The boat is useless without it. We used ours one time. If not for this issue, it's a great buy as it is a nice kayak if you dont mind going in circles!

The skeg system assist in turning the kayak and just aides in tracking. I don't know if it helps; but I haven't used my kayak without it! I do love this kayak though and absolutely don't regret the purchase. I have observed other deflatable kayaks where I use mine and I really think mine is better quality!

Mine does have a removeable skeg, and it tracks pretty well (once you know how to paddle a kayak)

Not familiar with ethic 90 but keelgaard simply glues to the keel of the boat so why not. if your are asking about the skegguard just make sure you get one for outboard or inboard which ever you need in the correct HP range

This manual is devoted to casting bullets and cast bullet loads. It has load data for a lot of very old (obsolete) cartridges. It has load data for bullets from molds other than Lyman, such as Lee, NEI and Hornady. It contains a lot of metalurgy information that's really above what I do with cast bullets. I just cast bullets from whatever I have and drop them into water. Some work extremely well and some are less stellar. It's now my go to book for casting problems and cast load data.

It is a mechanical cocking system mounted on the bow stock. I have one on mine. Worth every penny. jz from nj

I didn't have any luck getting a replacement skeg from Intex. However, there is a better version available on Ebay. It is white and it floats, so it should be much easier to find if it comes off. Just search "Intex skeg" on Ebay and it should be in the results.

No Idea, It wasn't designed for my unit a 225 Yami with a special foot. I was able to cut open back side and get it to over my skeg. Looks fine.

I really like this system, much faster for me to have a consistent length than a standalone. I feel it is a good investment and offers good consistent trims.

Yes it is, but be careful. These were the same size that my unit called for, but they did not fit! Be prepared for +/- an inch in any dimension. Unless you've used this brand before, I would stay away. I had to cut my down to size to fit my Skuttle.

I am not familiar with that system. I am a total novice at making bows which is why I got the machine. Sorry I can't help.

That's what they're for - to replace the quick release skewers. They are highly convenient for us, the quick release - but they are highly convenient for thieves. Just do them and don't look back. Just make sure you keep track of the key!

It is a built in crank type system that works like a boat trailer winch. Makes it easy for anybody to be able to cock the bow.

If the water is shallow enough to touch the bottom while paddling, you will probably lose your skeg. You can't navigate well without the skeg, so be very cautious in shallows and in water in which there are downed trees.

I am using the sled on a Ryobi table. I can not provide any info regarding compatibility with the Kreg system. I would suggest calling the sled manufacture. The sled works very well for us...

The material is surprisingly tough. I'm lazy and have often pushed myself along shallow rivers with my paddle while the kayak scrapes on the bottom and have never had an issue. But I did lose a skeg one time due to rocks. As I posted elsewhere, you cannot get a replacement skeg - as of today, they're *still* not listed on the Intex webste - and the kayak is essentially unsteerable without the skeg.

These come with quick release skewers. I wanted bolt-on too so I used the existing ones off my old wheelset with no problems
