BumbleBee180 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Can anybody answer this question please. Just noticed the very bottom tip of the motor aka skeg(if I'm saying that right) is bent a little to the left. It's not bad but I was wondering if that will affect anything or if I should get it fixed or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletDeuce Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 It really depends on how the boat acts while on plane. If you have the boat on plane & notice its tracking hard to one side-it would be best to get it fixed. If it doesn't track or seem out of sorts-I think it will be ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree I had the same problem it wasn't bent that bad, but it was tracking hard to one side so I had it straighten.

BumbleBee180 Posted June 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Yesterday I took another look. It wasn't bent bad at all. Just slightly. Took a block off wood put on one side and a rubber mallet on the other. And I slowly bent it back to about perfect. Since it was just the bottom tip it wasn't too tough to fix. Some say to heat it but I didn't. Didn't wanna risk screwing anything up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
