Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
We saw no difference other than we replaced a bent skeg and so the boat was a little easier to steer and keep on a straight line especially at lower speeds. It did not impact speed at all.
The new skeg guard should be filled with the sealant/epoxy thats included before the final installation. I drilled a small hole in the bottom of mine to let any air or excess epoxy out while pressing it on. I had no lose of performance.
