apparently they did fix it
What year are the boats you have had trouble with?
I recall that during 2010 sometime they changed the cord and maybe something else to make it work better. Personally, I’ve had no problems with my 2011 Delphin skeg, and actually I really like the way they designed the skeg. Kind of best-of-both-worlds between a rope skeg and a cable skeg. Nothing to kink if you forget to raise it, and it actually works when you need it.

I have the newer cord. My problems are not only with the cord,but the slider mechanism itself.I have repaired my skeg a couple of times, only to have the same parts fail again.I haved paddled various P&H demo yaks at demo days. A few of those had simular issues. P&H are great boats over all. But I have little faith in the skeg. My next plastic boat will most likely be a Valley Yak.
I agree…the skeg in The Scorpio stinks
