Either is correct according to Webster's. :D
Definition of Skag - Webster's 1913 Dictionary n.1.(Naut.) An additional piece fastened to the keel of a boat to prevent lateral motion.
Definition of Skeg - Webster's 1913 Dictionary n (Naut.) The after part of the keel of a vessel, to which the rudder is attached.

Sounds more like one is attached to the boat and one is not. Well maybe indirectly.

Skag: The woman who goes down on the captain.
Skeg: The part of an outdrive that gets knocked off when the skag goes down on the captain.:D

Webster's 1913 DictionaryUmmm, lots of words have changed, gone away, been added since 1913. :) My 2000+ page Webster's Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language (1989) contains skeg, but has no entry for skag. So, I recommend skeg unless you're talking to an old salt who was boating in 1913.
Happy boating!

Too funny you guys picked this up. Ever since I've known boats and surfed its always been skeg. Skeg is right.
"Skag" is a grommet term that means "I am stupid and don't know the proper terms for surfboard parts."
I can see that Skag could be a shortened version of skank + hag.

Since Mandy was so kind to correct me I have been using the term Skeg.
But I thought Skag was the surf board Skag and Skeg was the boat skeg.

glad to help MG. I never knew it was called skag myself until I did the search on the word the other day.
By the way I think slag is that useless crusty semi metallic buildup you get whilst welding with a stick welder that you have to knock off with a hammer :D

The silver slagy skanky skeg steered the sailship slighty sideways
Say that three times real fast :p
