Re: Cutting skeg Yea I thought about cutting my skeg and a bunch of extra wires around the starter. Should put me in the mid 30 mph range. Also cut the tiller handle off and get it welded to the top of the carb

Re: Cutting skeg I'm back to a stock skeg. Mine bit the dust and is in the dumpster. If I notice a difference going back to this one, I'll make another cut down one.

Re: Cutting skeg Is this just for pro drive's I thought it was a joke? My skeg is wearing out really quick and just never thought one would need to be cut

Re: Cutting skeg Cut a new one if you can. Just cutting the bar off a stock skeg does not give you the best angle. I believe in it. I can dig in a hard bottom much better and the better angle helps with the veggies.
