Straight skeg vs swept skeg on sportmaster
In a single engine application is there a marked advantage to using a swept skeg vs a straight skeg other than the built in torque tab? That can be epoxied on the straight skeg anyway.

Alot more skeg. If your running really high you need all you can get. JMO

I'm using a 3.0L straight skeg sporty with a Bob's add-on tab on a 21' Checkmate. The tab really helped the handling. I run the engine high, often 1"-2" above the pad. It seems to work well but I've also wondered if I'm missing anything by not having a swept back skeg?

epoxy is the way to go you can hand form it to a nice curve i use the hardware 2 part comes like a cigar shape just rough up edge of skeg mush the putty roll it on flat surface like a worm use saran wrap a your thumbs and form it on skeg looks factory stays on
