Keel Guard Skegguard Skeg Protector Stainless Steel

The Keel Guard Skegguard is a stainless steel skeg protector (also called a skeg guard or keel guard). It protects your outboard or sterndrive skeg from ramp dragging, underwater rocks and debris. It can also repair and replace a skeg that is already broken. The guard conforms to the shape of the skeg, so it adds no noticeable drag and does not hurt motor performance.

Key Features:

• Marine-grade 316 stainless steel: 18-gauge construction resists abrasion, impact and corrosion in harsh marine environments.
• Reinforced lower wear plate: a thickened 3mm wear tab guards the area of the skeg that takes the most abuse from ramp dragging.
• Drain hole: lets water and fluids escape, which helps prevent corrosion and freezing.
• Mirror-polished finish: gives a clean look and lasting protection.
• Bolt-on DIY installation: pre-drilled mounting holes serve as drilling guides, and no welding is needed. Installation takes about 10 minutes and works with as little as 2-3 inches of original skeg remaining.
• Hardware included: self-locking stainless steel hardware is dipped in thread locker to keep the bolts from loosening.
• Warranty: backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty.

A Skegguard costs far less than repairing or replacing a damaged lower unit skeg. It is a practical upgrade for boaters who launch from ramps, run shallow water or navigate rivers.
