Well this weekend out on the river I managed to lose some of my sterndrive.
Brand new prop on, repainted the skeg and got it out of the water to find this.....
No other damage just missing a large piece of the sterndrive. Don't know when I lost it, don't know how I lost it, didn't even really seem to make a difference in the speed or handling of the boat.
What's the best way of going about fixing this? Get someone to weld some more metal on it and paint it up nice? Is there a way to replace the casing without replacing the whole thing? Any ideas, past experiences etc. would be a ton of help. Haven't brought it to the shop yet but will if I need to.
