Skeg Guard
The bottom 1/2 of the skeg on my Merc I/O has been missing for a few
years now. The marina mechanic approached me today as I was getting things ready for next week's launch. He questioned that since I tend to be a little anal regarding the care of my boat, why have I not gotten the skeg repaired? I told him that I didn't see $280 worth of value in getting that little piece welded back on. Questions for the NG: 1. Is there a performance or handling benefit to having it at 100%? 2. What, exactly, does it do? 3. I think I'm getting hosed at $280 for the repair, so I haven't reparied it. Am I? 4. Can I just buy one of those Skeg Guards from West Marine for about $90 & attach it to achieve the same results? Thanks. Coff |
