What is the best way to straighten a skeg? Boat pulling to the right, and trim tab adjusted to the max?

Use two heavy hammers to straighten the skeg... one held against the skeg, the other to hit the skeg. Be sure to wear safety goggles. One lousy time I didn't... the side of the hammer shattered, exploded, came at me like a bullet, tore my left eye to hell. A word to the wise!
Well I can't upload picture even though I've reduced it well under 2000X2000 JPG?
Nice to see that you're still around Joe !!
You can do that - or if you have a Google account, upload the pics to your Google Drive, and provide a link that is shareable.Ahah, seems I need to create a URL to upload picture, duh, I'll have to look that up!
