 Loose skeg PD 32
The skeg on my 05 prodrive 32 is pretty loose. Rattles its ass off while running. Anyone know how these things mount? Replacement?

 Re: Loose skeg PD 32
You see these those Allen bolts on your skeg. Tighten those

 Re: Loose skeg PD 32
Your skeg is worn from the vibration. The old style L/Us (like yours) uses the method of pulling each side the slot to hold/clamp the skeg in place it will only pull so far, the newer style uses the bolts nut. If you skeg is still in decent shape on the bottom . I would remove it and insert some calking or silicone in the slot reinstall the skeg and bolts ( but don't tighten it yet) wipe off the excess, let it cure then tighten it back down. If you have the spare change I'd go with a new one.
Let me look my boy, I may have one laying around.

 Re: Loose skeg PD 32
My skeg has about a 2 inch hairline crack by the prop. I'm going to weld it and see how long that last. If not, I will be on the hunt for a new or used one.
