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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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.\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 27261\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Skeg Guards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 316 stainless steel, 18 gauge, mirror-polished finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\/Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver, mirror-polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLower Wear Tab Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3mm\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\u003eInstallation Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bolt-on, slide-fit with pre-drilled holes\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\u003eMinimum Remaining Skeg Length for Install:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 to 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-year warranty\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 672057272619\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuzuki 50AV-60AV, 2014-Present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuzuki DF90 4 Stroke, 2001-2010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuzuki DF100-115-140 (No 100BT), 2001-Present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Megaware SkegGuard 27261 do?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Megaware Keelguard SkegGuard 27261 is a stainless steel skeg protector that adds a wear layer to an outboard's skeg to guard against ramp dragging, hidden 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 Suzuki outboards does part number 27261 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e SkegGuard 27261 fits Suzuki 50AV-60AV models from 2014-Present, the DF90 4 Stroke from 2001-2010, and the DF100-115-140 (excluding the 100BT) from 2001-Present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the SkegGuard 27261 made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made from heavy-duty 18 gauge marine grade 316 stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish that conforms to the shape of the skeg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the SkegGuard 27261 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Megaware SkegGuard 27261 weighs 0.5 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do you install the SkegGuard 27261?\u003c\/strong\u003e Using a rubber mallet, the SkegGuard is slid onto the existing skeg and gently tapped until fully seated, then the pre-drilled holes in the guard are used to drill the skeg with a 1\/4 inch drill bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the SkegGuard 27261 be installed on a skeg that is already damaged?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the SkegGuard 27261 can be installed with as little as 2 to 3 inches of the original skeg remaining, making it suitable for restoring function to a damaged or partially broken skeg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does the SkegGuard 27261 have a drain hole?\u003c\/strong\u003e A drain hole is built into the bottom of the SkegGuard 27261 to let water escape rather than collect, which prevents corrosion and freeze damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is in the box with the SkegGuard 27261?\u003c\/strong\u003e The package includes one Megaware Keelguard SkegGuard 27261 skeg protector with drain hole;
