2017年4月28日 · In a speed boat it will be noticeable and dangerous. Also if you have a boat capable of 60 mph or more don't put your life at risk. The Skeg Guard is SS so if it hits something it will take off more or if not all of the skeg. The skeg is used to steer the boat and at speed all sorts of nasty things can happen.

2013年7月29日 · I dragged the skeg of my F150 along a boat ramp which did some minor cosmetic damage. I was quite upset but after reading all the info on this forum I was much happier. To me your skeg looks fine on the leading edge. My concern would be the prop and the trailing edge of the skeg. How has the skeg lost such a large chunk out of the trailing edge?

I've run alot boats with the skeg bent, knicked and almost broke off. But I do like to have a little protection for the prop if possible. Have a welded by a local welder, or find a good prop shop. Most prop shops will repair your skeg as well.

The bad part of it all is that the boat is about a year old and I just had the skeg touched up at the shop from wear from the previous owner’s use. On the bright side…my prop was unharmed. So, my question is…most of what damage is present can …

My boat was recently damaged by someone else who towed it with the engine down. All 3 blades of the prop were damaged and the skeg has a number of scratches and is missing a piece that is about an inch long at the bottom.

There are also SS skeg repair kits if you prefer just go to Cabelas or BassPro and search Skeg and you will find a few options. I'm glad I put this one on. :) The high impact plastic works great. I think it absorbs some shock of hitting things. Like concrete at a launch with bad waves hitting the transom. This is how my skeg broke to begin with.

2012年8月10日 · Several days ago another boater at my marina tied his boat behind mine in a fashion that caused the skeg of his bow mounted trolling motor to "stab" the cowling of my outboard. The damage was significant. Not just a case of tying up too close, his skeg was being pulled into my cowling under tension.
