Quote:MD, Mirage fins act a lot like wings. The closer they get to another surface (like the kayak bottom, the less efficient they get. "Squeezing" the water as you put it slows it down due to turbulence, and that lowers thrust.
Great information! Thanks!
I've been noodling over the aluminum frame and instead of shimming up to the pegs, I'm going to cut a notch in the lower rail and recess the plastic mounts.
Moving them down an inch should put the pegs right on top of the crossbar.
Then I'll be noodling a bit more on how to grab onto the metal pegs.
