She will run fine without the skeg --as long as the gearcase is not cracked. If you have the broken skeg, it can be welded back on, however, you must drain the oil from the lower unit beforhand.

If you do not have the broken part, replacement skegs can be purchased (Usually for Mercury) and welded on. Part will cost about 30-40 with shipping and welding will cost about 100.

If enough of the skeg is still present on the gearcase, you can buy a stainless skeg that bolts on.

I made my own 2 1/4" steel plates cut to fit, welded together held in places with aluminum bolts. and a chain on it in case it happens again. but in case is leaking this must be addressed. good luck

I'd be interested as well - especially the chain part.
