Megaware SkegGuard 27071 Stainless Steel Skeg Protector – 316 Stainless Marine Protection for Select Mercury Outboards

Description

The Megaware SkegGuard 27071 is designed to protect select Mercury outboard skegs from impact damage and abrasion. Constructed from 18-gauge marine-grade 316 stainless steel, it helps shield lower units from rocks, submerged debris, trailer ramps, and other hazards encountered during boating operations. The polished finish delivers long-term corrosion resistance. || A reinforced wear tab is integrated into the lower edge where contact is most common, improving durability during launching and retrieval. The built-in drain hole allows water to escape, helping reduce trapped moisture and minimizing corrosion or freeze-related concerns. It can also be installed on many skegs that have already suffered partial damage. || Precision formed for Mercury-specific lower-unit applications, the SkegGuard 27071 installs without welding and provides a practical alternative to expensive skeg replacement. The marine-grade construction and three-year warranty make it a valuable lower-unit protection upgrade.
