While running at full throttle, I ran into a rock and caused slight damage to the bottom of the lower unit, I think it is called the keel, it is slightly bent maybe about 1 inch off center, the propellor was damaged and that was sent out for repair. So is there any way of straightening the keel...my fear is snapping it, I was thinking heating it up and using 2 steel plates and a couple of heavy duty clamps to slowly tighten down and staighten it out. But maybe I am totally wrong...maybe i should just let it be, its a small 60 hp motor, 1071 Evinrude in case you are wondering.
