Re: skeg

A friend of mine told me to use a rubber mallet to bend mine back. (tapping lightly) The guy at the prop shop said he could fix it for under a $100, but he was going to reweld a new one and then paint it. I never had the nerve to hit mine though.

Re: skeg

If you straighten it (or if it breaks), consider getting a skeggard to repair and protect it from further damage.
