I finally got angry at some local welder about welding my skeg so I told him where to go and that I would fix it myself. I bought the plastic skeggard that you see in overton's and marine tex. The only skeg I had left was about 2" by 2" right above the prop so there was not much left. I first used my bench grinder and cleaned both ends of the sked with the wire wheel end. I then marine tex the 2 parts together and let them dry for 2 days. After dry, I took off all the paint on and around the skeg then used this black epoxy that skeggard uses and made sure that I glue the top of the guard against the bottom of the motor and all around the skeg. I let that dry for 2 days and marked 2 small spots where I could drill hole where part of the skeg that was not broken and but in 2 ss bolts and nylon nuts to give the skeggard extra bite and extra strength. When I finally took out the boat I have to tell you that I was afraid that it would come apart even though I do not travel into shallow water. I drove the boat all day and then coming back the tide had gone out and as I was going about 10mph the boat almost stopped because I hit ground. I immediately raised the engine and powered out not to get stuck and made it out. I took the boat out of the water and the skeg was like a rock. So if you need a new skeg, this is a great option and with the guard on, the boat turns much better now.
