I hit a submerged object that snapped off 1/2 of the starboard side of the cavitation plate on my 200 Yamaha lower unit. Any problem running without it? (Boat has trim tabs) I hear the metal can be reformed at machine shops with aluminum welding; anybody experienced that? I continued running after the incident and appeared to have no problems. Anyone else out there ever broke off a piece of their housing material?

Re: Broken plate

It happens all the time. Take it to a welding shop that has done it before. I'm surprised that's all you damaged.<br />Good luck!
