It also restores function to a skeg that has already been damaged or broken, making it a practical repair as well as a preventive upgrade. The SkegGuard is built from heavy-duty 18 gauge marine grade 316 stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish that conforms to the shape of the skeg for a close, factory-like fit. A drain hole is built into the bottom of the guard so water does not collect and cause corrosion or freezing during storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is designed to be straightforward: the SkegGuard slides onto the existing skeg and is gently tapped into place with a rubber mallet, then secured through pre-drilled holes using a 1\/4-inch drill bit. It can be installed with as little as 2 to 3 inches of the original skeg remaining, which makes it a viable fix for skegs that have already sustained damage. The SkegGuard 27101 is fitted for Johnson outboards rated 100, 115, 120, and 140 HP, 2 stroke, model years 1980-2001, and for OMC 4 cylinder outboards, model years 1986-1989. It is backed by a 3-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Megaware Keelguard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27101\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Category:\u003c\/strong\u003e Skeg Guards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 316 stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mirror-polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrain Hole:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, prevents water collection and corrosion\/freezing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Remaining Skeg Length for Install:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 to 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size Required:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.41 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 672057271018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohnson: 100, 115, 120, 140 HP, 2 stroke, 1980-2001\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOMC: 4 cylinder, 1986-1989\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Megaware SkegGuard 27101 do?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a stainless steel skeg protector that shields an outboard motor's skeg from ramp dragging, submerged debris, and general wear, and it can also restore function to a skeg that is already damaged or broken.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich outboard motors does part number 27101 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 27101 SkegGuard fits Johnson outboards rated 100, 115, 120, and 140 HP, 2 stroke, model years 1980-2001, as well as OMC 4 cylinder outboards from 1986-1989.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the SkegGuard 27101 made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made from heavy-duty 18 gauge marine grade 316 stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish, which conforms to the shape of the existing skeg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this be installed on a skeg that is already broken?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
