Osprey Rider Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 G'day Raiders, Somehow I managed to brake a small piece of the skeg off the bottom of my 25hp mercury. Does anyone know if it is able to be repaired and how? And if so can you give me a name and number of who could do the repairs for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll weld it back for you. If not. He'll fabricate new bit and stick it on. Tip. Change oil in gearbox after. Ally transfers a LOT of heat. Better safe than sorry.(where do you live?)

kingpig Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I welded one on my old evinrude motor. I got a lot of news paper and put it in a bucket of water for days until it turned into a pulpy mess then packed this around my gerbox still fairly wet then welded the piece on. The wet paper mush stops the heat transfer and you will not get any distortion of the gearbox housing. Cheers Kingpig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changing oil on my part was just covering my arse. it was nice and clean. Macka17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osprey Rider Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 Thanks fellas, I was concerned that I wasn't able to get it welded and I would need to get a new gear case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
