Megaware Keelguard SkegGuard 27261 Skeg Protector for Suzuki 50AV-60AV, DF90, DF100-115-140 Outboards

The Megaware Keelguard SkegGuard 27261 is a stainless steel skeg protector designed to shield an outboard motor's skeg from ramp dragging, hidden debris, and everyday wear on the water. It is also used to restore function to a skeg that has already been damaged or broken, letting the boat owner avoid a full lower unit repair. The guard is built from heavy-duty 18 gauge marine grade 316 stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish that conforms to the shape of the existing skeg, and it includes a drain hole on the bottom so water does not collect and cause corrosion or freezing.

Installation is designed to be straightforward: using a rubber mallet, the SkegGuard is slid onto the existing skeg and gently tapped until fully seated, then the pre-drilled holes are used as a guide to drill the skeg with a 1/4 inch drill bit. The unit features a 3mm lower wear tab and can be installed with as little as 2 to 3 inches of the original skeg remaining, making it a practical fix for skegs that have already sustained damage. The SkegGuard 27261 is fitted specifically for the Suzuki outboard applications listed below and comes backed by a 3-year warranty.
