Hello Fellas,
Need to know who repairs skegs on the bottom of my outboard as I bent it a while ago and then tried to straighten it and snappo. Should have known better. Anyway if you could point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

Any marine mechanic may be able to do it.
I had mine done at Sundown last year.

They took the gear box off so the skeg was upright.
Cut off enough skeg to start again, then weld on a new piece the right size.
Sand back the weld & paint with factory color.

Mine cost about $280 incl.
