Hello. I have a 2016 Hobie PA12. My skeg is in the down position and will not raise up. It isnt stuck or anything, I can move it up and down freely by pushing up on the bottom of the skeg. The T-Handle that is used to raise and lower the skeg doesn't have any pressure on it. Looking inside the hull, I can see the cheek block laying in the bottom, and it appears that all cables are connected to it. I am guessing that the connection in the front of the kayak has broken loose, but cannnot tell where it is supposed to be connected.

Does anyone have a detailed diagram that will show the proper routing of all skeg cables, and where they should be connected, and also what parts might be needed?

Thank you!!
MillYak

Not sure if this "kit" instruction will help, but maybe as it shows where the block is normally installed.

Good luck!

Thank you Doc!! I think that will help, it shows the block attached to the kayak via 2 screws, I think mine is laying on the bottom of the inside of the hull.
