Megaware KeelGuard 27221 SkegGuard Stainless Steel Skeg Protector for Volvo SX Single Prop

The Megaware KeelGuard SkegGuard 27221 is a precision-fit stainless steel skeg protector designed for Volvo SX Single Prop sterndrive systems (1995–2006, excluding SX-A and DPS-A models). Whether you're protecting a healthy skeg from future damage or covering up an already broken one, the SkegGuard delivers a durable, professional-grade solution without the need for welding or costly lower unit repairs.

Constructed from 18-gauge marine-grade 316 stainless steel, the SkegGuard features a 3mm thickened lower wear plate at the base of the skeg — the area most vulnerable to contact with rocks, submerged debris, and accidental ramp dragging. The guard is precision-formed to conform closely to your lower unit, ensuring no discernible drag or compromise in performance once installed.

Key Features:

• 18-gauge 316 marine-grade stainless steel — highly resistant to saltwater corrosion
• Mirror-polished finish for a clean, long-lasting appearance that complements your motor
• Reinforced 3mm lower wear tab provides extra protection where the skeg is most vulnerable
• Drain hole on the bottom prevents water from collecting and causing corrosion or freezing
• Installs with as little as 2–3 inches of skeg remaining — no welding required
• Includes self-locking hardware and hex wrenches — complete DIY install in under 10 minutes
• 3-Year Limited Warranty from Megaware KeelGuard, Inc.

The SkegGuard is an affordable alternative to expensive lower unit skeg repairs or replacement. Simply slide it over the existing skeg, tap into place with a rubber mallet, drill through the pre-drilled holes, and secure with the included hardware. Note: This product is designed to protect against wear and minor impacts from floating objects, submerged stumps, and rocks — it is not intended to prevent damage from direct collision with stationary objects. Not compatible with Volvo SX-A or DPS-A models.
