It is also used to restore function to a skeg that has already been damaged or broken. Built from heavy-duty 18 gauge marine grade 316 stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish, the SkegGuard 27271 conforms closely to the shape of the skeg for a snug, factory-look fit, 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 simple: using a rubber mallet, the SkegGuard is slid onto the existing skeg and tapped until fully seated, then secured through pre-drilled holes using a 1\/4-inch drill bit. The unit can be installed even when as little as 2 to 3 inches of the original skeg remain, making it a practical repair option as well as a preventative upgrade. It is backed by a 3-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SkegGuard 27271 is designated for Honda 115hp 4 Stroke outboards (2010-2011) and Honda 135hp, 150hp, 200hp, and 225hp 4 Stroke outboards (2004-2011).\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 27271\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Category:\u003c\/strong\u003e Skeg Guard\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\u003eWear 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Hardware Needed:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4-inch drill bit (holes pre-drilled in the guard)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Remaining Skeg Length for Installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 to 3 inches\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 672057272718\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonda 115hp 4 Stroke, 2010-2011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonda 135hp, 150hp, 200hp, 225hp 4 Stroke, 2004-2011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Megaware SkegGuard 27271 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SkegGuard 27271 fits Honda 115hp 4 Stroke outboards from 2010-2011, and Honda 135hp, 150hp, 200hp, and 225hp 4 Stroke outboards from 2004-2011.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the SkegGuard 27271 made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made from heavy-duty 18 gauge marine grade 316 stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the SkegGuard 27271 be used to repair a broken skeg?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, it can restore function to a damaged or broken skeg and can be installed with as little as 2 to 3 inches of the original skeg remaining.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the SkegGuard 27271 installed?\u003c\/strong\u003e Using a rubber mallet, slide the SkegGuard onto the existing skeg and tap it until fully seated, then drill through the pre-drilled holes with a 1\/4-inch drill bit to secure it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does installation take?\u003c\/strong\u003e Installation is designed to take under 10 minutes in 4 simple steps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the SkegGuard 27271 have a drain hole?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 27271 features a drain hole on the bottom that lets water escape so it does not collect and cause corrosion or freezing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the SkegGuard 27271 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Megaware SkegGuard 27271 weighs 0.5 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included with the SkegGuard 27271?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 27271 ships as a single stainless steel skeg guard with pre-drilled mounting holes;
