After a slight distraction at the boat ramp, my partner and i headed for home, only to find out upon backing up we had left the motor unlocked.<br />it really is a horrible sound when the leg swings down and hits concrete instead of water.<br />needless to say the skeg broke off and one prop blade did the same. <br /><br />i ordered a skeggard after considering the options, and while they are expensive, they install very easily and look great.<br /><br />it's a good option for those who have similar "bad luck" stories at the boat ramp.
