It also restores function to a skeg that has already been damaged or broken, giving it a second layer of protection going forward. The SkegGuard is built from 18 gauge marine grade 316 stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish that conforms closely to the shape of the skeg, and it includes a drain hole on the bottom so water does not collect and cause corrosion or freezing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is a simple four-step process that typically takes under 10 minutes: the SkegGuard is slid onto the existing skeg and gently tapped into place with a rubber mallet, then secured through pre-drilled holes using a 1\/4-inch drill bit. It can be fitted with as little as 2 to 3 inches of the original skeg remaining, making it a practical option for skegs that already show wear or minor damage. A 3mm lower wear tab adds extra protection at the point of contact.\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 27221\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 316 Stainless Steel\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\u003eGauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 Gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLower Wear Tab Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 millimeters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrain Hole:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\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 1.79 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 672057272213\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eVolvo SX Single Prop, 1995-2006 (does not fit SX-A)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eNot applicable - the Megaware Keelguard SkegGuard 27221 is an add-on skeg protector, not a direct OEM replacement part\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Megaware Keelguard SkegGuard 27221 do?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a stainless steel guard that fits over the skeg of a Volvo SX Single Prop outdrive to protect it from ramp dragging, hidden debris, and everyday wear, and it can also restore function to a skeg that is already damaged or broken.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich drives does the SkegGuard 27221 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 27221 fits Volvo SX Single Prop drives for model years 1995-2006;
