Another Skater I know got both bitten.

What's involved in fixing it?

Less expensive than a prop?

Curiuos on how you intend to fix it. Can you weld the X Power housing or have to buy a new gear housing. $$$.

I did that to one of my 300X skegs. We cut an inch off on the leading edge shaped and polished with no performance or reliability issues. I bet I put more than 50 hours on it like that.

You can replace just the skeg on X powers I believe, no machining or welding.
