Megaware KeelGuard 27051 SkegGuard Stainless Steel Skeg Protector for MerCruiser Bravo I & III

The Megaware KeelGuard SkegGuard 27051 is a heavy-duty skeg protector and replacement skeg engineered specifically for Mercury MerCruiser Bravo I and Bravo III stern drives. Constructed from 18-gauge, mirror-polished marine grade 316 stainless steel, it delivers long-lasting protection against the everyday hazards that can damage or destroy a lower unit skeg — including ramp dragging, submerged rocks, and hidden underwater debris.

Unlike costly professional repairs or lower unit replacements, the SkegGuard offers a do-it-yourself solution that installs in four simple steps in under 10 minutes using common hand tools. It slides over the existing skeg and is secured with self-locking hardware, conforming closely to the lower unit profile so there is no discernible drag or loss of performance on the water.

Key Features:

• 18-gauge marine grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• Mirror-polished finish for lasting shine and added corrosion protection
• Reinforced 3mm thickened lower wear tab provides extra protection at the skeg's most vulnerable point — ideal for ramp launching and river running
• Drain hole on the bottom prevents water from collecting, reducing the risk of corrosion and freeze damage
• Installs with as little as 2–3 inches of skeg remaining — an effective repair option for an already broken or damaged skeg
• DIY installation in under 10 minutes using a rubber mallet, 1/4-inch drill bit, and basic hand tools
• Self-locking hardware included for a secure, rattle-free fit
• 3-Year Warranty backed by Megaware KeelGuard

The SkegGuard 27051 is a cost-effective alternative to expensive skeg welding or lower unit replacement, offering professional-grade protection at a fraction of the cost. Cross-reference part numbers: KLG 27051, 26-3399.
