Yikes, that's not right. The skeg is sandwiched in place via the upward pressure of the flat bar and the hull, held in place by the 3 or 4 bolts. Maybe they installed the skeg after everything else was installed and they tapped into the bar to hold the skeg in place???

That would make sense! Yeah it's a mutant skeg for sure. See attached, I used photoshop to compare to another T37.

Not much to the skeg but Tartan (Art in parts) may still sell them so you can drop the rudder and put the right one on

I just dropped my rudder and the skeg is off, if you need pics or anything.

Take a look in the "tech resources" section for my write up on replacing the skeg I got from Tartan. Any questions call me direct @ two zero two two five five nine zero five one. I'll be glad to expand on what I did.

Wow, thanks so much! What are you up to? Pic from rear of boat looking at area where the pintle attaches and above would be greatly helpful. How does your gudgeon and pintle look?

Thanks Neal! And for the great write up! Seeing your pics gave a clue that something was different on mine.
