And if you run into something else and the skeg is missing, the skeg can
not
be broke if it ain't there. Course the prop and shft will take a
lick'n.
Get it welded. About $80.


He didn't say the whole thing was gone. One third. Learn to read, will
you? The skeg on my 135 Evinrude has been about a third gone since I
bought the boat. No adverse affects.


More stupid advice.

What advice did I give?

I said that my Evinrude works just fine with a part of the skeg gone.
There is NO noticable difference in handling, or performance. The skeg
is still long enough to hit something before the prop does.
