Posting some pics of the bottom fin on my outboard. I had an incident at the boat launch on the weekend (with the trailer winch.....replaced it already). Boat rolled off the trailer early and hit this fin on the concrete ramp. It looks twisted to me, but I don't know if that is how they are manufactured or if I bent mine. If it is bent is there a safe way to straighten it out? Its cast aluminum, I don't want it to snap off! I am an outboard rookie so please excuse my ignorance, Thanks folks!









ps. The bearing housing doesn't seem to be compromised everything turns nicely without noise and the boat doesn't seem to pull to one side or anything? Maybe (hopefully) I am worried about nothing.
