[QUOTE="johnr, post: 35509, member: 395"] Well Saturday was a beautiful day to be on the lake, the morning was calm, mrs johnr and I put in 4 hours of fishing, then went back to camp, made breakfast, rounded up the kids, and the rest of the adults and headed to the beach. The wind was a good 15mph, making some nice tubing waves, the beach was hot, and the horse shoe games where getting intense. As the day was winding down, me and a buddy decided to load our boats up with the kids, and head to a calmer side and do a little swimming from the boat with the kids(cool down and clean up). I followed him over, he goes between the rock pile and shore line entering into ski bay, I follow, he makes it, I bust the skag off of my optimax on a just under the surface bolder, somehow didn't bend the prop, or take out the lower unit. Have any of you guys had this happen? I have done this now on 3 motors, somehow didn't bust the lower unit off entirely, just the lower 5-6 inches of the skag. I contacted a welding shop and am going to try to have him replace this, any one done this with theirs? It still drives just fine, turns just fine, but bothers me anyway, so a fix is needed.
