Aluminum outboard skeg repair (bigger one this time... with He mix)

[undercut]

The customer e-mailed me some pictures of the finished result. He seemed pretty proud, and I would say for good reason! Looks like he did a very good job getting it all back together.

Here is the weld-repaired lower unit after paint:


And here is the rebuilt, completely assembled outboard motor (a 1979 Chrysler) that the lower unit got installed into:

Oh yeah. Very nice. Can't tell anything was done. Looks stock! Very nice feeling, putting in the effort, getting a happy customer and seeing such nice results! Think I saw Rod post somewhere that he built something to circulate water to avoid heating the seals. Doesn't seem to be in this thread so I'll hunt around for it. Thanks for sharing this repair with us.
