Mercury 250 XB 2001 - Engine Serial # 0T235489
All it takes is a moment. A friend flagged me down, i stopped, backed up and ran the engine into a birm, bending the skeg. SIGH! I can hear everyone already "here's your sigh".
Questions:
1. how bad will the bend affect performance (dumb question i know, but i have to ask)
2. Can the bend be corrected? if so - recommendations in Southern Indiana?
3. If the bend can't be corrected - do i need to replace the entire unit housing? If so - suggestions on where to purchase from?
The skeg is not cracked.
