Outboard Skeg Repairs

The Issue

An aluminium outboard boat that had been through a rough time at sea and was nursing some injuries to its skeg and propeller.


What Agnew Engineering describes as “the old Christmas injuries to skegs and hulls from hitting rocks and logs.”


The skeg of any outboard motor is the stern drive which serves as a type of rudder and allows the motor to turn the boat accurately and smoothly.
