Megaware KeelGuard 27031 SkegGuard Stainless Steel Skeg Protector for MerCruiser Alpha 1 Gen 2

The Megaware KeelGuard SkegGuard 27031 is a precision-fit stainless steel skeg protector designed for Mercury MerCruiser Alpha I Generation II stern drives (1991–Present). Whether you're protecting a new skeg or repairing a damaged one, the SkegGuard offers a cost-effective, do-it-yourself solution that can save hundreds of dollars over professional welding or lower unit replacement.

Key Features:

• Marine-Grade 316 Stainless Steel: Constructed from high-quality 18-gauge, mirror-polished 316 stainless steel — stronger than the original aluminum skeg and built to last in saltwater and freshwater environments.
• Reinforced Wear Tab: Features a 3mm thickened lower plate with an extra reinforced wear tab at the most vulnerable area of the skeg, providing superior protection against ramp dragging, submerged rocks, stumps, and hidden debris.
• Dual Purpose — Protect or Repair: Installs on undamaged skegs for prevention, or can be fitted to a broken skeg with as little as 2–3 inches of skeg remaining, eliminating the need for costly welding repairs.
• Performance Neutral: Conforms precisely to the lower unit profile so there is no discernible drag or compromise in motor performance.
• Drain Hole Design: Built-in drain hole prevents water from collecting and becoming stagnant, guarding against internal corrosion and freezing.
• Easy DIY Installation: Secured with self-locking hardware and installs in less than 10 minutes using common tools — no special skills required.
• Electroplated Finish: Mirror-polished surface provides a long-lasting shine and added corrosion resistance.
• 3-Year Warranty: Backed by Megaware's 3-year manufacturer warranty from date of purchase.

The SkegGuard 27031 is the trusted choice for boaters looking to protect their MerCruiser Alpha I Gen 2 stern drive investment. UPC: 672057270318.
