    Default Skeg Question


    Trim went out at ramp Saturday and caught something solid trying to get on trailer. With this being on the back, will this cause cavitation issues?

    I banged mine up a whole lot worse than that a couple weeks ago and cannot tell the difference. I knocked about an inch of the entire back corner off.

    I have a pretty good slope on my driveway and things like broken skegs and skint up props happen when I forget to trim the motor up before getting to bottom of the hill. Really makes my blood boil when I do that....you would think I would have enough smarts to not do it again.

    Won’t hurt anything, but you could check here to if they have one for your motor. Just a little insurance against further damage.

    I have read really good reviews on this product. It’s how I plan to fix mine.

    It’s like you were there! Poor folks at the ramp probably thought I had lost my mind when I hit said object. I was not happy.

    Thanks for the replies. Will check out skeg shield

    Not good but if it had to happen that was the best place for it. I don't think it will cause you a problem. 2cents
