Not only was the craftsmanship amazing, but the filming of the work was quite amazing. Well done!

It's cool to see guys that still take pride in their work it's getting more rare these days

Some people have no idea how insanely precise this has to be… 👏👏

Thanks for a well done video and job. Description says " Skeg repair " and that is what we got ! .. not talking a bunch of rubbish while holding a glass of liquor trying to look cool or mafia and presenting a bunch of horrible welding and demonstrating inability ! Great job !

Beautiful video. I appreciate the attention to getting that skeg right. We took my brother's "work boat" (Boston Whaler with twin 175 hp. outboards to the shop to have id worked on. Picking it up, we just backed down the ramp to test it out. Darn near killed both of us; the skegs were not true. A sharp turn at almost full trottle and we almost flipped. The work was corrected and the bill marked "No Charge". The mechanic saw the whole test and knew the boat was used for law enforcement.

Well made video, nice work, and nice to see a young guy doing a job most would never bother with. I’m all for fixing something vs throwing it away and just replacing it.

I wish all videos in here would be as good as this one! Very well done and great repair job too!!!

As a retired tool and die maker I love working with aluminum. .old trick was to use Bees wax as a lubricant on aluminum when grinding,it keeps wheel or grinding disc from loading up...beautiful repair job...welding any cast material is a real p.i.a.

Excellent job dude. 40 years mechanic. Impressive.

That's some great workmanship. My lower unit is at the shop right now for a skeg repair - hope mine turns out as good as these.

I echo what others have said. Just saw this after recent damage to my outboard skeg. Just an awesome video in terms of craftmanship and repair detail.

Fabulous ! One of best I have viewed. Sincerely, Carl

So impressed by the work. Keep it up....don't stop.

I just got two Bravo 3 drives back from Buckhorn Yacht Harbour/ Kawartha Propeller. Drive look Great and ready for many more years of boating. Very nice family run business

What excellent work! So impressive.

Well done I really like that there are some younger generation folks out there willing to use there muscles and brains to do a old school much needed job thanks my man!! The only thing that I didn’t see in this video however maybe he didn’t show it but the fins on an out board no matter which ones they are need to be square and straight with a near perfect leading edge. I know this is how they did it back in the day but now we can use our lasers and what not to check everything to be square true etc. smaller engines it’s not a huge issue you wonts be able to tell too much of a problem but when you are pumping out the horsepower and torque and water flow dynamics in high horsepower and torque things need to be accurate almost to 100% tolerance. You do t want vibrations or lift or pull. These tolerances are key to fuel economy ride quality and simply put not ruining it all again amongst everything else mechanical attached to the engine and drive etc not rattling apart and breaking down. With CBC and laser measuring tech nowadays we can’t almost have next to zero tolerance and help the whole picture. If able don’t if not fix to your ability and don’t throw it away if we can help it. Thanks again for the video.

Bro, I’ve gotta say, this is a freakin job well done here. Dude, your amazing!

Ready for another rock! :) nice work

Nice work👍

Cast is a pain that most people don't want any part of. It can be challenging and thats probably why I like it. Im currently repairing the coolant part of a block. I told the guy with as bad as it was he probably had other cracks he just can't see and I can't make any promises. He said its worth a chance. Ive never seen so much corrosion and salt build up as his. Dirtiest I've ever worked on.

great repair wor , true metal art control !!!

you do not need to be old to be a craftsman and good at your job.

Fine craftsmanship

Amazing job bro look nice and new

My original boat skeg has that "flat edge lip" on the bottom which I see your replacement repair skegs come with too. I noticed you ground that off during the repair, is that appropriate or is that not essential?

Good job. Hugs and blesses from Brazil.

Serviço perfeito.

Is it safe for the lower unit to weld a skeg on? I was told its bad for the seals, but if they went alow should be fine?

What does something like that cost?

good work

What size welder are you using ?

Looks fun

Legendary......

Where are yall located?

Is it just me or the weld looks full of porosity? I welded done some tig welding on aluminum prop. Yeah, it's kind hard to keep them clean, but it should look that bad.

Is it ever needed to pull the bearing carrier out to do weld repairs to the skeg?
