    Mercury 9.8 bottom end

    1980 OMC 400 lower end

    Having recently purchased well used StarCraft SS 18, on inspection of the out drive lower end. I noticed a chunk of the skeg broken off. Size is about 2”x2” triangle piece off the tip. Will this amount have any effect on handling off the unit? Thanks Moe
