I am not saying the skeg completely gone. Obviously you need some skeg.
But as long as there is some of the skeg left, you won't hurt anything.

I personally would not worry about it. You obviously did not know it
when
running the boat. It is not hurting anything.
I have run boats w/ almost no skeg before you could notice any
difference.
(not mine but a boat I was working on).
I also have broken off about 1/2 the skeg off the front when I rolled
over
a
rock and the weight of the boat snapped the skeg. Never noticed a
difference. Even sold the boat w/ it broke w/ no reduction in price.

Bottom line, leave it alone. If you break it again, then maybe get it
fixed.

Just got the boat out of the water and what do I find... about 1/3 of
the
skeg gone. Best to have it welded and repaired. Or are these
Skegguards
worth the money?





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.
