Well it happened.....I found a new rock on the lake! It messed up my prop pretty good and took a 3" chunk of my skeg off. I just picked up a new prop and was looking for a good guy for skeg repairs in the Hamilton/Burlington area.....anyone know of a good guy that does this kind of work?
Depending on the age/size/make of your motor it might be a lot better to just replace the lower half of the gearbox. Then you know how strong it will be the next time. A weldor might not heat treat his repair to manufacturers Spec, or might distort things when he tries.

You can also buy bolt on skeg repair kits. It is like a sleeve that fits over frame work of old skeg. Just google (image)skeg repair kit, lots of example. This will not work if busted cavity for gear oil. It is functional and works, I have seen two on boats in our lake at Park.
Always a smart out there. Do you know this guys work? Is he reliable? I can google these guys all day long as well but I was asking for a recommendation.Quote:
