[QUOTE="Charger25, post: 343944, member: 9620"] I've straighten out quit a few skegs like that. If you have a 6'' C-clamp and a couple of 4 or 5 ft (longer is better ) 2x4's , Clamp 2x4's together with skeg in the middle like a sandwich. Tilt the motor way up put the boards in line with the motor. ( like its an extension of the skeg ) This part is kinda hard to explain but grab the very end and bounce the 2x4's in the right direction to straighten it out. Kinda like 1,2,3, and on 4 push it a bit more. Don't be in a rush and take your time. It will take several trys, move it a LITTLE at a time. Be careful not to go too far on 4 or it will snap . If it does snap,well you're no worse off that taking it to a prop shop cause they're going to cut it off anyway. [/QUOTE]
