A good welder can repair it. Keep cold wet rags on the gear housing to
prevent ruining the seals.

Thanks for the advice. I'll be seeking a repair shop in Phoenix soon.

Jim,
You can buy a new skeg for around 30 bucks and have someone weld it on
for you, or you can buy a stainless steel skeg guard and install it
yourself .... they run around 100 bucks.
Good luck,
Rob

The small Blackfin Skeg was designed specifically for the Alpha Mercruiser. The Blackfin will give you superior protection against underwater obstruction and will make the alpha outdrive steer much better. You can install the Blackfin by yourself in the driveway. The kit has everything you need for installation Also the Blackfin looks like it came that way from the factory.
