Hey guys will this hurt the perfomance of the boat with the skeg like this? Also do yall know what a man can do to fix this??

Thanks Guys Tojo

I hope you have insurance to help pay for the cost of a new housing.

Depending on the speed/performance of the boat but if that's on a fast boat, it's down right dangerous.  If it breaks off at high speed, you may totally loose the back end of the boat and it may try doing a bat turn on you.  If the boat only runs in the 40's - 50's you may get away with it.  No way under the sun would I run that on my boat.

I've never heard anything good coming out of welding one one a high performance boat, they usually break off completely.   Again though, on a slower boat, might work.

How in the H___ did that happen....

I would be hitting the bone yards looking for a replacement.

But in the mean time till one was located I would not be traveling at high speed.  Just fast enough to plane the boat and no more

Man, that is a bummer
