Made in the U.S.A. From heavy-duty marine grade vinyl in black, it slips over the prop blades so a folded-down trolling motor does not chew through canvas, upholstery, or storage covers during transport or storage. This part number is specifically the back piece of the pair; the matching front piece is a separate part, number 255, so be sure to order the correct piece for your setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 12 inch, 2 blade protector is sized and shaped to fit a range of common 2 blade and 3 blade trolling motor propellers, including Motor Guide and Minn Kota models. It ships with complete instructions, and a die and setting tool are packaged as a set to help with installation of the fasteners that hold the protector in place.

This also means faster starts and a smoother pull for water skiers and wake boarders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Doel-Fin fits all newer outboard and stern drive motors from 5 horsepower, with the exception of Volvo Penta outdrives.

It is designed to fit Mercury MerCruiser Pre-Alpha 1 drives (1973-1984), and Megaware also offers guards sized for other inboard and outboard motors including Evinrude, Johnson, Force, Honda, Mercury, Mariner, Nissan, Tohatsu, OMC, Suzuki, Volvo, and Yamaha under separate part numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstruction is heavy-duty 18 gauge marine grade 316 stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish that conforms closely to the shape of the skeg once installed. A built-in drain hole at the bottom lets water escape rather than pool against the metal, which helps prevent corrosion and freeze damage over time. Installation is a simple four-step process: the guard is slid onto the existing skeg and gently seated with a rubber mallet, then secured through pre-drilled holes using a 1\/4-inch drill bit. The SkegGuard 27011 can be fitted with as little as 2 to 3 inches of the original skeg still intact, making it a practical fix for a skeg that has already suffered impact damage rather than a full drive replacement.

to protect and restore the lower unit skeg on sterndrives, with application to MerCruiser Bravo I \u0026amp; III models (1990-present). Constructed from mirror-polished stainless steel, it features an extra-reinforced lower wear tab engineered to resist abrasion from rocks, debris, ramp dragging, and river running. A built-in drain hole helps prevent water accumulation and corrosion inside the unit. The SkegGuard is shaped to conform to the existing lower unit profile, so it installs without adding noticeable drag or compromising performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is designed to be straightforward, typically taking about 10 minutes with common hand tools, and the self-locking hardware needed for the job is included.

The skeg is one of the most exposed parts of an outboard's lower unit, taking repeated impact every time a boat is launched or retrieved on a trailer, which makes it prone to gouging, corrosion, and eventual cracking if left unprotected.

A drain hole at the bottom of the guard prevents water from collecting behind the shield, so the area under the guard does not stay wet and stagnant between uses, which helps guard against corrosion and freeze damage in colder climates.
