Tabs to keep paravane down


I have attached two small pieces of aluminum to the bottom of the two keels and angled them so that they pull down.  This keeps the paravane from lifting out of the water, which has been a problem.  I also trimmed the back of the keels so they are like the front.   I can now yank on the line and it does not jump out of the water like it used to.

  1. took a break from a nursing dissertation help project and this was a great find — the aluminum tab fix is exactly the kind of practical problem solving I love, simple modification, clear logic behind it, and it actually works which honestly puts it ahead of half the solutions you find online for stuff like this.
