What is the Megaware SkegGuard used for?

It protects an outboard motor's skeg from ramp dragging, submerged debris, and general wear, and it can also restore function to a skeg that is already damaged or partially broken.

Which SkegGuard fits my Yamaha outboard?

Choose SkegGuard 27291 for Yamaha 75-90HP 4-stroke (2017-Present) or 115-130HP 2 & 4-stroke (2001-Present, excluding P/B-series) outboards, and SkegGuard 27321 for Yamaha 50-90HP outboards. Confirm your motor's exact horsepower and model year before ordering.

What material is the SkegGuard made from?

It is made from 18 gauge marine grade 316 stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish.

How much of the original skeg needs to remain to install this guard?

The SkegGuard can be installed with as little as 2 to 3 inches of the original skeg still intact.

How long does installation take?

Installation takes under 10 minutes: the guard is tapped onto the skeg with a rubber mallet, then secured using the pre-drilled holes with a 1/4-inch drill bit.

Does the SkegGuard include a drain hole?

Yes, it has a drain hole on the bottom that prevents water from being trapped between the guard and the skeg.

Will the SkegGuard fit other outboard brands?

No, each SkegGuard part number is engineered for specific Yamaha horsepower ranges and model years; it is not designed as a universal fit for other outboard brands.

Does the SkegGuard affect boat performance?

No, it follows the original skeg profile closely enough that it does not noticeably affect handling or performance.

Megaware SkegGuard Stainless Skeg Protector - Yamaha

Megaware SkegGuard Stainless Steel Skeg Protector for Yamaha Outboards - Fits 50-90HP and 115-130HP

$125.95

The Megaware SkegGuard is a mirror-polished stainless steel armor plate that bolts directly over your outboard's skeg, the fin-like lower unit fin that takes the brunt of ramp strikes, sandbar contact, and submerged debris. Rather than replacing a damaged skeg or living with a chipped, corroded one, boaters tap the SkegGuard on with a rubber mallet and secure it through pre-drilled holes, restoring both protection and appearance in under 10 minutes. Each guard is sized for a specific Yamaha outboard horsepower range and model-year window, so the fit is precise rather than universal.
