Keel Guard 27041 SkegGuard Stainless Steel Skeg Protector for Yamaha VMAX SHO

The Megaware SkegGuard 27041 is a precision-fit stainless steel skeg protector and replacement skeg engineered specifically for Yamaha VMAX SHO and VMAX HPDI outboard motors. Whether you're looking to guard an intact skeg from future damage or restore a lower unit with a broken skeg, the SkegGuard delivers a durable, cost-effective solution that outperforms welding repairs at a fraction of the cost.

Key Features:

• 18-gauge marine grade 316 stainless steel construction for maximum corrosion resistance in saltwater and freshwater environments
• Mirror-polished finish for lasting shine and reduced drag
• Reinforced 3mm wear tab across the bottom provides extra protection in the most vulnerable zone, absorbing impacts from rocks, submerged debris, and accidental ramp dragging
• Drain hole on the bottom prevents water from collecting, eliminating the risk of corrosion and freeze damage
• Precision-formed to conform to your lower unit with no discernible drag or performance compromise
• Installs in under 10 minutes using common tools — slide onto skeg with a rubber mallet, seat fully, and secure through pre-drilled holes with a 1/4-inch drill bit
• Can be installed with as little as 2 inches of original skeg remaining, making it an ideal broken skeg repair solution
• Secured with self-locking hardware included
• Backed by a 3-year manufacturer's warranty

The SkegGuard 27041 is custom-shaped to fit the Yamaha VMAX SHO and VMAX HPDI lower unit profile, ensuring a snug, rattle-free fit. For boaters dealing with a damaged or already-broken skeg, this guard is a stronger and far more affordable alternative to professional welding or lower unit replacement.
