Ran aground with my Yamaha 200 HPDI

[realmasa]

Yes, it's finally happened. Prop was a ballistic and it's ruined, but it can be replaced. The problem is the fin (or whatever it is called) below the prop, it is worn down some millimeters or centimeters due to rocks and i don't know how much to fill it to achieve original size and shape. Does anyone know where i can get a close up photo or some sort of a schematic?<br /><br />Thanks in advance,<br />Mattias

its usually no worries. we have a few about here with no skeg, mine is broke off about 2" from the case and has been for years. but there is a product here called a skeg gaurd that ya may hunt for on the net. a welding shop can build it back up again.
