Do you sharpen the bottom of the lower unit like the bottom of a turn fin or leave it square like the back of a rudder? Do you round the bottom front corner like on a rudder or leave it square-edged? I've already got the leading edge razor sharp but these other aspects have me wondering. BTW....K&B .67 O/B
 
Atious,

You've probably done plenty to the lower unit skeg by sharpening the leading edge. That's basically all I ever do - if that!! If you really enjoy working with metal, the skeg could be feathered at the trailing edge. But, I'm not sure there's any performance gains for all that work.
