Probably what happened is the motor bounced and the transom saver fell off
of either the trailer end or the motor end if it was not strapped on.

I always ran the trim down to jam the motor against the transom saver on
boats that used one. And you always need to strap it to the motor. I
assume you strapped it or you would not have had 1/2 of it left.

As for the lower unit. The skeg can be replaced by a prop shop. You need
to verify that everything else is ok first. Take it to a dealer and have
them do a leak/pressure test and verify the propshaft is not bent. If
everything checks out - then have a new skeg welded by a prop shop. They
know how and won't overheat and melt the seals.

Just got back from the lake with half a Transom Saver and no fin below the
prop. Had no idea it fell, but it torn up the lower unit. Anybody making
a
fix kit for outboards? It's a Merc 90hp. I didn't hook up the Transom
Saver so I'm not sure what went wrong. Any help would be appreciated
because I'm bummed.
