Product Details

SkegGuard™ Skeg Protector (27031) by Megaware®. The Megaware SkegGuard is constructed of high quality marine grade material that incorporates an extra reinforced wear tab across the bottom where the skeg is most vulnerable. This lower plate will withstand damage or abrasion from hidden rocks and debris or accidental ramp dragging. The Megaware SkegGuard conforms to your lower unit to insure there is no discernible drag or compromise in performance. A drain hole keeps water from collecting and remaining stagnant.

Installation

Secured with self-locking hardware, the Megaware SkegGuard can be installed with common tools in less than 10 minutes. It will provide years of service and save hundreds of dollars in potential repairs. If replacing an already broken skeg, the Megaware SkegGuard can be installed on a lower unit with as little as 2 inches of skeg remaining. It will be stronger and much more affordable than welding and replacing a lower skeg.

SkegGuard is Perfect
Just waying in on the SkegGuard skeg protector that I installed on my I/O 140 Mercruser with Alpha 1 outdrive. This attachment went on and attached perfectly and looks great. And it works perfectly. I already was out fishing in some shallow water and sure enough while only idling through those shallows something was protruding up even more shallow than the depth finder found and the skeg protector did it's job. Quickly shutting down the engine saved any damage from occurring but I feel that part of this outcome was having the SkegGuard installed as it adds a little more depth and that gives a little more protection and Zero prop damage. Very happy that I have added this to my boat.

Protector Solid, Skeg Broke Off Clean
Although the skeg never got all scratched up, it did break off clean. At least I can use the protector again.

Good Experience
It was easy to use the online ordering system. Product was delivered within a week. The guard was easy to install and greatly improves the appearance of the boat. Price was lower than other online and stores with physical locations.

Great Product and Reasonably Priced
It fits my 2020 Mercury 150 HP outboard perfectly. It was easy to install and fits snuggly over the skeg. I use my boat primarily in a black water river with depths typically under 5 feet. There are some shallow spots that can have some hidden hazards. I had some skeg damage on my previous boat, and am determined not to do the same with this one. I haven't hit anything yet, but expect the SkegGuard to prevent any damage, if I do.

SkegGuard 27151
I am an active boater who is fortunate to fish and utilize my boat about 320 days a year. The bay I run my boat is extremely shallow and has many areas containing clams, shells and shallow bottom. I have used the SkegGuard for about a decade now and would not be without one. It protects my engine and gives me confidence while running the flats. I am not careless but that extra bit of protection is very reassuring. I recommend this product without hesitation or reservation. Get it and you will not be sorry! JNM
