Keel Guard 27031 SkegGuard Stainless Steel Skeg Protector for MerCruiser Alpha 1 Gen II

The Megaware KeelGuard SkegGuard 27031 is a precision-fit stainless steel skeg protector and replacement skeg designed specifically for MerCruiser Alpha I Generation II stern drives. Whether you're looking to protect a healthy skeg from everyday hazards or restore function to a damaged lower unit, the SkegGuard delivers a cost-effective, do-it-yourself solution that outperforms costly marine shop repairs.

Constructed from 18-gauge marine-grade 316 stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish, the SkegGuard conforms closely to your lower unit's skeg profile, ensuring no discernible drag or loss of performance. A reinforced 3mm wear tab across the bottom of the guard provides extra protection at the most vulnerable point, shielding against ramp dragging, submerged rocks, debris, and shallow-water hazards.

Key Features:

• 18-gauge marine-grade 316 stainless steel construction for maximum corrosion resistance
• Mirror-polished finish for long-lasting appearance and reduced drag
• 3mm reinforced lower wear tab protects the skeg's most vulnerable area from rocks, debris, and ramp dragging
• Drain hole on the bottom prevents water accumulation, corrosion, and freeze damage
• Can be installed with as little as 2–3 inches of skeg remaining — no need for welding or lower unit replacement
• Secured with self-locking hardware; installs in under 10 minutes with common tools
• Conforms to the lower unit profile with no discernible drag or performance compromise
• 3-Year Limited Warranty from Megaware KeelGuard, Inc.
• Made in USA

The SkegGuard is a smarter alternative to expensive skeg welding or lower unit replacement. Simply slide the guard onto the existing skeg, secure with the included self-locking hardware, and you're protected. UPC: 672057270318.
