Lower casing damage Yamaha F80A 2003

[speedsplash]

The lower casing of my Yamaha F80A has sustained some damage after hitting a rock.

The prop is undamaged.

Will this significantly affect the performance of the engine?

Also, can this damage be repaired? I imagine it is a common site for damage. A new lower casing is around £500-£600.

It was just doing its job

Wow! Thanks Steve.

You have certainly put my mind at rest as regards shelling out for a new lower casing. I just need to find someone to doo the repair.

Many thanks for your reply.

Steve.
