The best would to buy a replacement skeg that is preformed the right shapes and sizes and also made out of cast aluminum, so you have a better weld area. One picture is of a skeg blank that we use, and the other is the same gearcase that you have the we replace the skeg on Friday.

Wow, that is a great looking job there propman. If I didn't live 800 miles from you I would be sending my damaged unit to you.
