I broke about half the skeg off my Mercruiser outdrive. Is it repairable or
will I need a new lower unit case?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Jim,
You can buy a new skeg for around 30 bucks and have someone weld it on
for you, or you can buy a stainless steel skeg guard and install it
yourself .... they run around 100 bucks.
Good luck,
Rob

Take it to a prop shop. they will weld on a new piece. maybe a $100.

A good welder can repair it. Keep cold wet rags on the gear housing to
prevent ruining the seals.

Thanks for the advice. I'll be seeking a repair shop in Phoenix soon.
