Boat Skeg Repair video

[@mudpuddle8805]

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

[@terrywilson1813]

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

[@d0n315]

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

[@martinodendaal9267]

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 !

[@johngritman4840]

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.

[@thehappytexan]

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.

[@dieterronsberg5970]

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

[@joelkoricich1771]

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.

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.

My father was a Class A Tool & Die Maker (Floor) @ The Budd Company from 1954 to 1991. I was an Auto Body Tech @ UPS from 1991 to 2016. All our grinding wheels had signs on them. DO NOT GRIND ALUMINUM!

[@omcbob37]

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.

[@OneCupOfCoffee204]

Excellent job dude. 40 years mechanic. Impressive.

I bloody hate when someone has pride and skills in their job and does it right ! Top banana.

[@mikemiller7231]

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.

[@wildkatsailing]

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

[@jacquespoirier9071]

...but...usually an old craftman has more tricks in his hands

[@TheAfterWorkGarage]

@@jacquespoirier9071 I'd say I agree with both sentiments

Hello question Does this piece affect the balance of the boat I have the BIOS because I have the piece mentioned in it simple warp does it affect sugar

[@pauls330]

i dont have a tig or mig welder. i do have a small 160 amp inverter arc welder machine. ingco brand. would that weld aluminum on outboards?

You should do some more of these videos 👍👍

Keep it up good job , god bless u way to go 👍

[@denislemelin7653]

Nice shop !

[@4k_outdoors792]

Great job dude...👍👍Thanks for shearing!!

[@TheOldKid]

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.

[@jaydog3860]

What does something like that cost?

[@WellcraftGranSport3400]

Simply remarkable!

[@ChuckWood14]

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?

[@timothyberlinski2299]

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?

[@3rdmillenniumvideoproducti654]

Yes they go slow and use a heat absorbing paste.

[@kimjong6517]

Amazing job bro look nice and new

[@philldownes8685]

no it looks repaired.. missing the small bulbous bit on the bottom. made the skeg weak at the bottom due to him grinding off what should be there, very silly thing to do.

[@dmanars1]

Do you preheat?

[@mickcv4554]

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

[@turdfurgeson517]

I think you can only heat it so much. Another words I was told u break things into smaller jobs until complete or you can possibly ruin any gaskets or o rings. I don't think you have to worry about the steel.

Question for you my 15 hp Evinrude motor has had a skeg repair a piece welded back on to the bottom and it comes to a complete triangle. Can anyone explain this? Did they just not finish the job and cut it off? Has anyone ever seen this before? Does it help with balance? Can anyone give me an answer lol

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.
