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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Megaware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27051\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Line:\u003c\/strong\u003e SkegGuard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mirror-polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.19 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Items:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Self-locking installation hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 10 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-year manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 672057270516\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMerCruiser Bravo I \u0026amp; III sterndrives (1990-present)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Megaware SkegGuard 27051 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SkegGuard 27051 is designed for MerCruiser Bravo I \u0026amp; III sterndrives, 1990-present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the SkegGuard 27051 made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made from mirror-polished stainless steel, chosen for corrosion resistance and durability against abrasion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does installation take?\u003c\/strong\u003e Installation of the SkegGuard 27051 typically takes about 10 minutes using common hand tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the SkegGuard 27051 come with mounting hardware?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, self-locking hardware needed to install the SkegGuard 27051 is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill installing this skeg guard slow the boat down or add drag?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The SkegGuard 27051 is shaped to conform to the existing lower unit, so it installs without adding noticeable drag or affecting performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much of the original skeg needs to remain to install this part?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SkegGuard 27051 can often be installed with as little as 2 to 3 inches of the original skeg still intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a full lower unit replacement or just the skeg?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 27051 is a replacement skeg component, not a full lower unit -- it restores the housing over the existing skeg area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat warranty comes with the SkegGuard 27051?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SkegGuard 27051 is backed by a three-year manufacturer warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the SkegGuard 27051 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Megaware SkegGuard 27051 weighs 2.19 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy choose a SkegGuard instead of welding or replacing a damaged skeg?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SkegGuard 27051 offers a cost-effective alternative to welding or replacing a broken skeg, since it fits over the remaining skeg structure rather than requiring a full rebuild.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the SkegGuard 27051 have any features to prevent internal corrosion?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, it includes a built-in drain hole that helps prevent water accumulation and corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many SkegGuard units come in one package?\u003c\/strong\u003e Each package of the SkegGuard 27051 contains one unit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Keel Guard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49027495526619,"sku":"MKI-27051","price":125.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/61vg2V80fsL.jpg?v=1785330999","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/megaware-skegguard-27051-stainless-steel-replacement-skeg-for-mercruiser-bravo-i-iii-sterndrives","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
