Mike,

I wouldnt be too worried about the skeg itself as I have seen boats perform just fine with half of it missing! Its not like your trying to set speed records or making high speed hairpin turns.
The prop is another issue. If it was thrown out of balance it can spin the hub and cause water to get in.
I will tell you that sometimes it cost more to repair an aluminum prop than its worth when you can get a new one fairly reasonable if you shop around!
