Quicksilver 859447A 1 Skeg Repair Kit for Mercury & Mariner Outboards

The Quicksilver 859447A 1 Skeg Kit is a genuine OEM replacement skeg designed to restore the lower unit of Mercury and Mariner outboard motors following impact damage. The skeg—the fin-like projection at the bottom of the gear housing—is a common casualty of shallow-water strikes, submerged debris, and boat ramp dragging. This kit provides a factory-quality repair solution using premium materials.

Key Features:

• Precision die-cast 360XK alloy construction for stronger, more uniform welds
• Genuine OEM Quicksilver part — not aftermarket
• Designed for welded repair to the existing gear housing lower unit
• Has adequate depth for 3.0L models, though it is not an exact silhouette of the original skeg on those engines
• UPC: 745061064614

This skeg kit is the trusted factory solution for repairing damaged lower units on a wide range of Mercury and Mariner outboard motors. The high-strength 360XK alloy ensures a durable, weld-ready repair that stands up to continued use in demanding marine environments.
