If he get's back to you I wouldn't expect much. Anybody that somehow doesn't mention that mess, isn't going to be easy. I would be contesting the charge ASAP. Doug

Dude WTF? Is this serious? My 15 year old daughter could
stick weld on DC negative better then that.
Send it back bro. The fact that he did not disclose only justifies slapping him upside the head with it.

Good luck bro!

Did the guy have one of these for sale to? Looks like some of his handywork....

I can't imagine anyone selling a drive in the condition...what a POS....

It's Junk.... Get all your money back shipping too.

This has to be a joke...there is no way someone could have sold you that.

A skeg needs to be tig welded on. Mig won't hold. There is no danger though if it does break. I broke one on a crab pot this summer in a poker run at about 85mph. The crab pot was a rude left turn but the 100 mile voyage home with no skeg was a breeze. Then I had a new skeg mig welded on. It broke off in rough water, dog eared my prop and broke an upper. Not good. A friend tig welded it back on now and it is rock solid. The moral the story. Don't run that pos, you will regret it.
