The Megaware KeelGuard 27081 SkegGuard is a marine-grade skeg protector and replacement guard engineered to shield your outboard motor's skeg from the damage caused by ramp dragging, submerged rocks, underwater debris, and everyday wear on the water. Built from heavy-duty 18-gauge, 316 marine-grade stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish, the SkegGuard is designed to conform precisely to your lower unit without creating any discernible drag or compromising boat performance.
Key Features:
- 316 Marine-Grade Stainless Steel — Heavy-duty 18-gauge construction with a mirror-polished finish for lasting corrosion resistance
- Reinforced 3mm Wear Tab — Extra reinforcement across the bottom of the skeg where damage and abrasion are most likely to occur
- Built-In Drain Hole — Prevents water from collecting and becoming stagnant, reducing the risk of corrosion and freezing
- Skeg Repair Capability — Can be installed on a lower unit with as little as 2–3 inches of original skeg remaining, making it ideal for repairing an already broken skeg
- Fast DIY Installation — Installs in 4 simple steps in under 10 minutes using common tools; secured with self-locking hardware
- No Performance Impact — Conforms to your lower unit with no discernible drag or effect on boat handling
- 3-Year Limited Warranty — Backed by Megaware KeelGuard's manufacturer warranty
