SkegGuard®, MerCruiser Alpha 1 Generation II, 1991-2010
Save hundreds of dollars on skeg repairs and replacement.
Megaware SkegGuard® is constructed of high quality marine grade 316 stainless steel that incorporates an extra reinforced wear tab across the bottom where the skeg is most vulnerable. This 3mm thickened lower plate will withstand damage or abrasion from hidden rocks and debris or accidental ramp dragging.
The Megaware SkegGuard® conforms to your lower unit to insure there is no discernible drag or compromise in performance. A drain hole keeps water from collecting and remaining stagnant.
Secured with self-locking hardware, the Megaware SkegGuard® can be installed with common tools in less than 10 minutes. It will provide years of service and save hundreds of dollars in potential repairs.
If replacing an already broken skeg, the Megaware SkegGuard® can be installed on a lower unit with as little as 2 inches of skeg remaining. It will be stronger and much more affordable than welding and replacing a lower skeg.

Put this on my Bravo II out drive and it fit perfectly. Nice and snug and all the parts felt like very good quality. If I could change one thing, the only thing I would recommend for the manufacturer is to pre-coat the screws with red Loctite. I've seen others that come like that and it's a great idea. But I like how this one looks.
Easy to install. Had in stock

Skeg not damaged, but got tired of buffing out sand scratches on the paint and touching up to prevent corrosion. This should fix that problem,
