Default Bottom of outdrive damaged HELP!

At the bottom of my outdrive, below the prop the small fin hit a rock
and was slightly bent and gouged. Some one mentioned that there might be
a bolt on part to cover this. Does anyone know of such an item and maybe
a webpage that would sell this?
Thanks

If it's just slightly bent, then take a block of wood - 2x6 would do,
and a heavy hammer or a rubber mallet, have somebody hold the wood on
one side and just swing the hammer or mallet a few times to get it
back in line.

As to the "gouge" - that depends on the "gouge". If it's a dent, then
file it down and smooth it out.

However, you can have this done at any good prop shop. The repair is
simple and not at all time consuming.
