    Skeg/prop repair

    Hit a pinnacle this weekend. Skeg is bent and a few chunks are missing. Aluminum prop looks a bit like a tortilla chip. What's a good place in/ near Victoria for skeg repair and new prop? What's the ballpark cost for skeg repair?

    You could try a skeg guard which fits over the damaged remaining portion.
    Island propeller do prop repairs, usually about $80 out the door.

    After striking something that hard you may want to check your prop shaft.If it's a Merc stern drive you may have also damaged the yolk.Hopefully they aren't an issue -an ounce of pervention...
