Megaware SkegGuard 27051 Stainless Steel Replacement Skeg for MerCruiser Bravo I & III Sterndrives

The Megaware SkegGuard 27051 is a stainless steel replacement skeg designed to protect and restore the lower unit skeg on sterndrives, with application to MerCruiser Bravo I & III models (1990-present). Constructed from mirror-polished stainless steel, it features an extra-reinforced lower wear tab engineered to resist abrasion from rocks, debris, ramp dragging, and river running. A built-in drain hole helps prevent water accumulation and corrosion inside the unit. The SkegGuard is shaped to conform to the existing lower unit profile, so it installs without adding noticeable drag or compromising performance.

Installation is designed to be straightforward, typically taking about 10 minutes with common hand tools, and the self-locking hardware needed for the job is included. Because the SkegGuard replaces the outer skeg housing rather than requiring a full lower unit rebuild, it serves as a cost-effective alternative to welding or replacing a broken skeg, and can often be installed with as little as 2 to 3 inches of the original skeg remaining. The product is backed by a three-year manufacturer warranty.
