busted skag

[Norske]

OB lower units have skegs. I think a skag is something else. Kind of like boat trailers have winches, but once in a while they also have a wench to turn the winch.

Bismarck Prop Works/ Bismarck Welding just have it fixed and be done with it those skeg guards just cause more damage the next time and you will be seeing them again.

You could just trade me boats, you would feel no remorse banging my old tub of a rock or two, but you may leave the transom and motor behind. And your ol' boat will fair very well in my driveway, and there is beer for you when you come and visit it.

How??? There are two bolts that hold it on. I hit a tree and it sheered the bolts and I lost the skeg guard but it saves my prop.

My dad put on one of those skeg guards. It caused all kinds of issues with the motor overheating. He had all kinds of people looking at it, even hauled it to Bismarck to get it worked on. Then the light bulb in his head turned on. The day he put that skeg guard on is the day the problems started. Took it off, problems went away. This was on an inboard 1850 Lund Tyee.

Duely noted. It's still a cool Norse-sounding word.
