A welder is definitely the way to go. I've had to get skegs welded a couple fo times. It makes it a little easier on them if you can give them a tracing of what it should like like when done. If you can find another motor with the same leg, just trace the area back to a good reference point, like the back of the leg so that he know how big and what shape the piece he needs to weld on should be.
