Skeg

[NC22]

Im looking for a replacement skeg for my 1969 25 hp Johnson motor. Can anyone help me out with what years and what HP will fit my motor? Also, is the inside of the bottom part of the skeg hollow, or solid. Will I need to worry about anything getting into my lower unit from a bent , or cracked skeg?

Re: Skeg

Im looking to replace the whole skeg, not just the fin with a fin guard. Thanks JB for the quick responce though.

Re: Skeg

the skeg is solid aluminum. <br /><br />and what jb is suggesting, is that if yours is chipped or broken, simply bolt this onto whats left and youll never have to fix it again. stronger than new!

Re: Skeg

Nutcup22, you may be confused on what the "skeg" is.....it is just the fin below the gearcase.<br />If broken, the skeg gard is what you want..

Re: Skeg

I think I am confused. Sorry about that JB, no disrespect intended. Its just that my skeg does not look like any of the ones that were pictured in the url that JB put up. Here is a picture of what my skeg looks like. http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?id=2126530416&idx=2

If that's a pic of the actual skeg you want to fix, a good alum welder can fix that in 5 minutes....

Re: Skeg

Yep, easy enough to weld it up and file it smooth.<br />If you want, you can add a skegguard over the top to reinforce it.

Thanks for the idea Walleyehed. It never even crossed my mind to have that done. This is a great forum. Thanks for all the replies people.
