Cavitation Plate Repair

[99Parker2520]

This is a 2020 Yamaha 300 that has a damaged cavitation plate. Any ideas on the best way to repair and I do not have the broken piece. Recently aquired on a newer boat.

Thanks,
Jay

That isn't the Anti-Cavitation plate. It is a spray shield which should be above the water surface when running. No need to fix it. The Anti-cavitation plate is below and behind the spray shield.

Yeah....it does spray up quite a bit on the right side while under way. I will come up with something.

The missing piece appears to be on the left side. If it is spraying on the right side, it is probably your transducer if it is transom mounted.

Just hit it with a file or Dremel to smooth all edges, and repaint.
See if there are any prop shops in your area that can recommend a welder that does skegs.

Thanks guys. Has a thru hull so it must be the spray shield

Usually, most prop (propeller) shops can fix that. Same with a broken skeg.
