My outdrive aluminum skeg is badly pitted and has a few chunks out of her. I know it can be welded and built back up. I know a good machinist/welder. My question is... what precautions do I need to take to protect any of the internal parts while welding it. Or any other advice on this subject would be appreciated
<br />M.Y.<br />EDIT.<br />sorry, in my head it meant "trim tab"...oops....<br />skeg guard is the way to go then IMHO.
