Hey RDP Crew,

I know someone has probably wondered about this. Previous owner damaged the skeg and I'm wondering what and if is the best way to go about fixing this issue. Can a shop simply heat the metal up and make the rib straight again and file it back to a nice knife edge? Or would it be better to pound it back as straight as I can and put a skeg guard over it? Thanks!

Take it to a prop shop and have them do it for you. Expect to need to put new seals in it when they're done. You might not have to but I wouldnt bet on it

A prop shop would be my first choice. Believe Adreneline trailer also does the work.

I dropped it off last week at @CuttingEdgePropellers, excited to see the finished results. Also looking forward to trying out their labbed 24 4 blade this season.
Thanks @Shlbyntro for the suggestion

Extremely pleased with the repair that @CuttingEdgePropellers did for me. Any of you in OC need props or skeg repair I highly recommend them.
