    Anyone use a skeg guard on a Fastrike motor????

    if so how is the fit does it go up tight to the bullet of the lower end or not does it do the job??? thinkning about getting one but saw one on a boat and it looked like an after thought.

    Is your skeg broke Al? If so, how much? Those things look fugly to me....JMHO I'd rather do a real fix and have it welded and reshaped.....

    had one on my 200 johnny,it lasted about 2 years and split in half,i think it looked better after i took it off and just cut the skeg straight and repainted.
    wouldn't waste my money again.

    I'll post a pic of my skeg later when I get home from work ok running like this for about a season and 1/2 and thought I'd take care of it but may leave it alone what's the down side of not repairing or replacing????

    That's pretty excessive Al. Are you having a lot of torque in the steering? If so I'd have it cut off square and a new piece welded in and install a torque tab on it. JMHO

    some torque but not too bad I may have it repaired worried about the seals after it's fixed or should it be ok as long as they don't get it too hot????

    You have enough material for a skeg guard or skeg shield.

    Looks good! Now you are going to have to buy a can of spray paint and clean up the remainder of the lower.
