Megaware KeelGuard 27071 SkegGuard Stainless Steel Skeg Protector & Replacement

The Megaware KeelGuard SkegGuard (27071) is a heavy-duty stainless steel skeg protector and replacement guard designed to defend your outboard motor's lower unit from the damage caused by hidden rocks, submerged debris, and accidental ramp dragging. It serves a dual purpose: protecting an intact skeg from future damage or repairing a lower unit with an already broken skeg.

Key Features:

• 18-gauge marine grade 316 stainless steel construction for maximum strength and corrosion resistance in saltwater and freshwater environments
• Mirror-polished finish for lasting shine and a clean, professional appearance
• 3mm reinforced lower wear tab provides extra protection at the skeg's most vulnerable point — ideal for river running and ramp dragging scenarios
• Drain hole on the bottom prevents water from collecting, reducing the risk of corrosion and freeze damage
• Conforms to your lower unit for a precise fit with no discernible drag or compromise in performance
• Installs with as little as 2–3 inches of skeg remaining — no need for costly welding or lower unit replacement
• DIY installation in under 10 minutes using common tools and self-locking hardware
• 3-year warranty backed by Megaware KeelGuard

The SkegGuard 27071 is a cost-effective alternative to expensive skeg welding or full lower unit replacement, potentially saving hundreds of dollars in marine repair costs. Please visit the manufacturer's website for current application and fitment details.
