I hit a sumerged tree with my starboard sportmaster, it knocked out a 1/2 oval shape in the skeg about 8". Just like the shape of the log. Took drive apart to see if any damage, none thanks to Teague torsional shaft. Took housing to a buddy of mine who welds alum. He cut the oval out to a rectangular shape and traced the shape to a similar peace of alum. and cut it out and welded it in. A little grinding, good as new. I also stuck a wet towel in the drive housing when he was welding it to make sure the housing was not over heated and distorted. Any welding shop or person should be able to handle it that can weld alum. I live in VA and my friends name is Jonny 540-659-3715 Also you can ship it to him and he can take it apart. You can see were he welded it , dissimilar colors, but who cares. Good luck, Gary
