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

The Megaware KeelGuard SkegGuard 27041 is a precision-fitted stainless steel skeg protector and replacement skeg designed specifically for Yamaha VMAX SHO and VMAX HPDI outboard motors. Whether you're looking to protect an intact skeg from damage or repair one that's already broken, the SkegGuard offers a durable, cost-effective solution that installs in minutes without professional assistance.

Key Features:

• Constructed from heavy-duty 18-gauge marine-grade 316 stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance
• Mirror-polished finish for long-lasting shine and reduced drag
• Reinforced 3mm wear tab across the bottom provides extra protection where the skeg is most vulnerable to rocks, debris, and ramp dragging
• Drain hole on the bottom prevents water from collecting, eliminating the risk of corrosion and freeze damage
• Conforms closely to the lower unit profile to ensure no discernible drag or loss of performance
• Can be installed with as little as 2–3 inches of original skeg remaining, making it ideal for broken skeg repair
• Installs in under 10 minutes using common hand tools and self-locking hardware — no welding required
• Backed by a 3-year manufacturer's warranty

A broken or damaged skeg can cost hundreds of dollars to repair through a dealer. The SkegGuard 27041 is a stronger, more affordable alternative to welding or lower unit replacement, and it provides ongoing protection for the life of your motor. The custom fit for Yamaha VMAX SHO and VMAX HPDI engines ensures proper seating with no guesswork.
