Need to remove a skeg*cry

[emmettnevel]

I need to remove the skeg in front of the rudder. Has any one done this? Do I have to drop the rudder? Or can it be remove with out doing that?

So its pretty hard to tell you much.

Need to remove the skeg on a Hunter 30 1982

Easy to do

If your 30' is like my 33' and it looks like it is. The skeg is held on by two bolts (1/4" I think). Just crawl in the stearn and remove the nuts. I may take a deep socket or open end wrench. The skeg should then drop out. No need to remove the rudder. Good luck.
