I had my OMC Cobra skeg repaired at East Coast Welding in Gilford. They had at least six Mercruiser drives to repair as well. I was very happy with the price, quality and speed of the repair. |
Depending on how bad it is, you can buy a skeg repair kit to go over the old one. It's kind of like capping a tooth. All the skeg really does is protect the prop and not very well I might add. Of course if it's completely destroyed then you would have it replaced.

The tip of the skeg is broken off, the rest is just pretty brittle due to oxidation. Don't want to put a lot into this outdrive as it may be time to look at replacement. Over 1,700 hours on it.

John Spooner at Diamond Shine does this work.

I put one on a Volvo penta skeg on a bowrider I owned and it worked as advertised.

I ordered a new TIG welder recently to fix a skeg on an extra bravo 3 drive that I'm building from spare parts, but the welder has not arrived yet. If you can wait, and have trouble finding someone to repair it, ping me. I have plenty of scrap aluminum to use and should be up and running with the TIG before the end of the month.

Skeg Repair
As I mentioned earlier, it was just the tip of the skeg that broke off. I have put the boat in the water, does not seem to have an impact on handling. I will probably leave as is for the summer. Thanks for everyone's input.
