The invention relates to a movable fin assembly, which includes a housing attachable to an underside of a watercraft and a rotation and pivoting mechanism. The mechanism positioned inside the housing and movable about two axes of rotation. The mechanism further has a fin locating position, thereby a fin provided at the fin locating position is capable of moving about the two axes of rotation via the mechanism, such that the fin's toe angle and camber angle changes when moving through the water. The invention further extends to an interchangeable self-aligning fin and static fin kit which includes a rotation and pivoting mechanism and a static member shaped and dimensioned to correspond with an interior of the housing. The static member and the rotation and pivoting mechanism interchangeably receivable by the housing in order to selectively provide a dynamic or static fin on the underside of the watercraft.
