Assess Damage to Outboard Engine Skeg
Posted: Tue Mar 30, 2021 10:19 pm
The skeg on my Mercury 90 appears to have been previously damaged and filed down by the prior owner. It's been re-contoured and is now lacking that sharp angle near the propeller and likely shortened up a bit.
How do I determine if the skeg is in need of a repair?
Does the damage necessitate a repair by welding more material onto the skeg?
A local shop not far from me the welds and repairs outboard engine skegs.
I haven't had this boat in the water yet. I am unable to determine how the skeg may effect performance.
