is there anybody who has modified there skeg to make it longer? my prop blades are longer then the skeg and this adds to premature wear of my prop. can i make it longer in any way?

The skeg isn't going to help much with prop wear, LT's start hitting bottom at about 11" so they do wear pretty fast if you run on a hard bottom. You can get a rock guard that will extend it some and keep it off of logs and rocks

yeah that is ecactly what i was thinking, it mite help it ride over logs better. so it shouldnt effect the performance?

the only thing I can think of is the gap inbetween the two peices of flatbar catchin vegitation.

maybe if i stop rite before my prop it mite fix this problem?

You will have a night mare trust me, if they wanted it fixed whoever made your motor would do it.

you can always grind it off if you dont like it.

Or leave it stock and not worry, it would only make more drag and cause motor to dig deeper when in thick stuff.

Or he could do it and when he hits a peice of re-bar he wont have to buy a new prop.

yea like he said, i can always grind it off, plus money is tight so a new prop would burn a big hole in my pocket, hell it doesnt hurt to try it atleast.

I WON!!!!

maybe it wont throw off your balance too bad.

wow never wouldve thought this wouldve became a contest

can you describe like what your thinking about doing again

what i was thinkin

yep that is pretty much the design of it

go devil can you bead weld thought that is the question

no, the question was if i can add on to my skeg to help protect my prop more, and woodie stated that if i can weld a bead, i can do anything i want to the skeg. and btw yes i can weld a bead......

i think it will help prtoect my prop more when riding over logs, maybe even in hard bottom.

well i welded me up something today, got a piece of 2 inch flatbar, welded it on each side and down the gap in the middle. i left about an 3/4 gap from it to the prop. went try it out and all i can say is DAMN!! it made a huge difference in how much it protects my prop from. it didnt even get caught up in the weeds one time,and i fine it helps me control it a lil better, all i can say is that this was the biggest improvement i have ever dont to my go-devil

glad its workin out for you
