Really not much to look at. About a foot long crack. A dumb expensive mistake on my part. I was doing what I knew would eventually happen. I have a jack plate on my 150SHO which if you have it jacked up and try to also tilt the motor, it will hit the Poling platform. I was coming up to the bank and started tilting the motor and it hit the bottom of the poling platform. Checked with some folks and said it would be around 600$ to repair and try and match the fading in of the paint. Most couldn’t even work on it until next month, so I ordered a new one because I’m heading to the Keys in a couple of weeks. A dumb 1640$ mistake. I will get this one repaired in the next couple of months and have an extra one.

Duct tape inside and out temporary fix till you have time to repair. You won’t need 2 unless you bonehead it again.
