My father dose T-tops and towers at a boat place and has done tons of skeg repairs. It can be easily done. Trick is to not get it too hot and to be able to weld threw the oils. Aluminum is tricky to weld to start with and cast even harder. Oil soaked cast way harder. A good AC welder or Me personally I would feel safe to weld that peice up no problem. Some people may not want to try. Take it to some one who knows how to do oil soaked castings and you will have no issues. Most use 4043 filler wire to do cast but the newer 4047 will be the best as it has a lower melting point and can wet in with out boiling out all the oils. Preheat helps, acetone and a good cleaning. If the welder knows what 4047 filler is he will be your guy. lol


If you were closer I would put it back on for you but in your area there should be some experienced guys
