A unique website dedicated to fishing information from Florida's Northern Big Bend. This includes the area from the Econfina River west to the Apalachicola River
I was just curious if I am the only one who's lower unit (skeg) is scratched to heck and back. I always bump something when I go. I had a bass boat for years and that skeg looked new for years. Since I started saltwater fishing a couple of years ago things have changed. It isn't a big deal because it really isn't hurting anything, but I was just curious.

Scratches let people know that ya actually USE the thang
“Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes.”
JUST SAND DOWN THE SKEG WITH ABOUT 80-90 GRIT AND REPAINT IT WITH ZINC CHROMATE. THE 85 EVIN. I HAVE HAS BEEN REPAINTED ABOUT 10 TIMES SINCE I HAVE HAD IT. IF YA LET THE SALT WATER HIT RAW ALUM. IT WILL CORRODE QUITE A BIT AND EVENTUALLY EAT THROUGH TO THE OIL RESERVE.
PA THE OLD MAN OF THE SEA
You know, now that I think about it my wife would be very suspicious if my lower unit had scratches on it
