Does anyone know of a place in the San Gabriel Valley that welds Skags? I apparantly hit something, or had something lodged between my prop and skag on the sterndrive, and now have 2 2x2 inch pieces missing. Any advice?

Try calling your local boat repair shop.They should point you in the right direction. Most shops will send the lower unit out to a shop that speciallizes in propeller and skag repair. I once broke off 75% of mine and they fixed it up for about 50 bucks.

Thanks Peter,
I'll try that route. I just dont want to take it somewhere, pay them, just to have them send it out....50 is not bad...

Wow, I just called Millers Landin in Montcliar where I usually have my work done, they quated 350-400 to pull the lower unit off and send it out....yikes. Well, there are a few other things I need checked out, so I guest it will have to do. Lots and clanking noise coming from the rear of engine near toward the gimbal bearing...
