Skeg in a sentence as a noun
Most outboards have some sort of skeg damage due to dragging bottom or strikes. Replacing props and lower units or repairing the skeg is very common.
Again here in FL dragging sandy bottom is pretty common and most of the time no big deal, maybe scuffing your skeg. Many times what happens is you're out of the channel on a plane no problem, then you slow down come off a plane and oops the water is too shallow and your lower unit /prop hits being the lowest part of the boat.
