Megaware Keelguard SkegGuard 27271 Stainless Steel Skeg Guard for Honda 115-225hp 4-Stroke Outboards

The Megaware Keelguard SkegGuard 27271 is a stainless steel skeg protector that shields your outboard's skeg from ramp dragging, hidden underwater debris, and everyday wear on the water. 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.

Installation 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.

The SkegGuard 27271 is designated for Honda 115hp 4 Stroke outboards (2010-2011) and Honda 135hp, 150hp, 200hp, and 225hp 4 Stroke outboards (2004-2011).
