A lot like the old Wannabe... except with fewer bad words. And Karate chop action. But, yes, still purtier than you.

To weld a new skeg back on the whole unit will have to come apart. aluminum transfers heat like crazy will melt the seals and possibly hurt the bearings.

ES i don't know that much about the skag, but I am a macnic and they are right about making sure about the engine being alright before you mess up big time.

I don't think a skeg protector is going to fix a bent skeg......his skeg is bent.....no pieces broken out. You need to have a tech check the seals in your lower unit to make sure that when the skeg bent it did not distort the area where the seals are ( this is important to make sure that water does not enter your lower unit).....and you need a run out check on your prop shaft with a dial indicator to be sure that it still turns perfectly true. If it passes these tests then you will be good to go with either skeg straightining or....skeg replacement. I would also check inside the boat in the bilge area etc. to see if the fall caused any damage at all to your tramsom....look for cracked welds, pulled rivits etc., etc, on transom braceing etc.......also check to see if your motor bolts are loose or slipped or anything like that....when the bottom of the boat hit as well as the lower part of the motor it put a lot of stress and pressure on these things concerning your transom. There is a lot that needs to be looked at and you need a good marine tech to check it out thoroughly. I would reccomend getting all of this done and repaired and turn it into your insurance.....thats what it is for.
I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.
