Megaware KeelGuard 27331 SkegGuard Stainless Steel Skeg Protector for Yamaha Outboards

The Megaware KeelGuard 27331 SkegGuard is a precision-fit outboard skeg protector and replacement solution designed specifically for select Yamaha outboard motors. Whether you're looking to prevent skeg damage before it happens or repair an already broken skeg, this guard delivers a durable, cost-effective fix without costly lower unit repairs or welding.

Key Features:

• Marine-Grade 316 Stainless Steel – Constructed from heavy-duty 18-gauge, mirror-polished 316 stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance in saltwater and freshwater environments
• Reinforced Wear Tab – Features a 3mm thickened lower wear tab at the most vulnerable point of the skeg, providing superior protection against ramp dragging, submerged rocks, stumps, and hidden debris
• Built-In Drain Hole – A drain hole at the base prevents water from collecting and becoming stagnant, protecting against internal corrosion and freeze damage
• Performance-Neutral Fit – Engineered to conform closely to the lower unit profile with no discernible drag or loss of performance
• Broken Skeg Compatible – Can be installed on a lower unit with as little as 2–3 inches of original skeg remaining, making it a practical alternative to expensive skeg welding or lower unit replacement
• Fast DIY Installation – Installs in under 10 minutes using common hand tools and self-locking hardware; no special skills required
• 3-Year Warranty – Backed by Megaware's 3-year manufacturer warranty from date of purchase

The SkegGuard 27331 is engineered for Yamaha 30 & 60HP 4-Stroke outboards (2002–Present) and Yamaha 40–50HP 2 & 4-Stroke outboards (1997–Present). For Yamaha High Thrust models, see Megaware model 27321.
