Hello.
I’ve got a 2023 PA 12 180 and I never really used my skeg since I’ve owned it because when I tried I never really noticed any kind of difference. The cart I store the kayak on is very low to the ground so I never really mess with it.

One day I was giving it a thorough cleaning and I had it higher up off the ground and I thought I would drop the skeg because I was curious how far it went down when I realized it doesn’t move. The cord goes in, but the skeg doesn’t come down. I can pull it down by hand, but if I push it back in manually, it will stay there.

Does anyone have any suggestion as to what could be happening or how I can fix this please?
