Hello boaters! I have an 80 225 express cruiser in project mode. I had the lower unit (mr drive) pressure checked and water pump assembly replaced by a local marine shop.Checked out nicely and was happy to not have to replace the lower unit. I was concerned about the skeg being broken off prior to my ownership. Mechanic said it was not nessisary? Should I be concerned further about this? Doesn't the skeg have a purpose? Torque during acceleration? I'm just a little weary and need some reassurance that he's correct. Thanks boaters.
