No its not that bad...I may have made it out a little worse than it is. The fin part of the skeg...is now flat on the bottom.

So last night I went fishing. Got the boat loaded back up and headed home. Somewhere on the drive home I lost my transom saver. The hydraulics on my trim or INOP, so the motor gradually worked its way down, I'm sure the bumps sped up the process a bit. Anyway, get home...notice the motor is down, transom saver missing, Skeg on the ground. Purpose of this thread: My Skeg is completely flat on the bottom now. How will this affect my outboard motor? Is this a serious concern? Thanks you

Thanks for the help guys... I guess when I looked at it before, I was over complicating things. It took me about an hour to swap the trolling motors. Works like a champ. Can't wait to go fishing and try it out. Its got a lot more power than my old one....Thanks again AnT

Thanks. I will have to look at my motor again...maybe Im missing something.

I have a bow mount trolling motor on my boat right now. Unfortunately it's an old trolling motor, so it's finally gone out. I have a buddy that is getting rid of his Transom mount trolling for a very reasonable price. Is there any possible way to swap my trolling motor for the new motor and put the new motor on my old bracket? Thanks for any help/suggestions. AnT
