Keel Guard 27271 Megaware SkegGuard Stainless Steel Skeg Protector for Honda Outboards

The Megaware KeelGuard SkegGuard 27271 is a precision-fit stainless steel skeg protector designed for select Honda outboard motors. Built to both protect an intact skeg and replace a damaged one, it delivers a cost-effective alternative to expensive lower unit repairs — saving boaters hundreds of dollars in shop costs.

Constructed from 18-gauge marine-grade 316 stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish, the SkegGuard conforms closely to your motor's lower unit, ensuring no discernible drag or loss of performance on the water. A reinforced 3mm wear tab along the bottom edge provides extra protection at the skeg's most vulnerable point, guarding against ramp dragging, submerged rocks, stumps, and hidden underwater debris.

A built-in drain hole at the bottom prevents water from pooling inside the guard, eliminating the risk of corrosion and freeze damage. The SkegGuard installs in under 10 minutes using common hand tools — no welding required. Simply slide it over the existing skeg, tap into place with a rubber mallet, and secure with the included self-locking hardware. Installation is possible with as little as 2–3 inches of the original skeg remaining, making it an ideal DIY repair solution.
