Re: skeg help

I have a really bent skeg on my motor that I asked about a few weeks back. From the reponses, if it does not affect the steering on the boat, you can just leave it as is. The main purpose of the skeg is to protect the prop. If you use the drop down from my user name and seach for my posts, you can find a pick of my skeg and see what a really bent one looks like. I have not run it yet, but if it runs fine the way it is, I may just leave it that way.
