ABSTRACT:
An outboard or stern marine drive assembly includes a skeg that is detachably secured to the lower gear case. The skeg plane is laterally off-set from the vertical plane that passes through the propeller thrust axis. One embodiment of the thin, high-strength steel skeg is secured by a "T" section along the top edge of the skeg to mesh longitudinally with a corresponding T slot in the gear case wall. In another embodiment, the skeg is flush mounted to a boss surface cast integrally with the shell wall of the gear case.
