For Mercury outboards, this Gator Guards SkegShield adds a stainless steel layer of protection over the skeg. Boaters who fish shallow flats or beach often wear down skegs quickly, and the guard takes that abuse. It can also cover and restore a skeg that is already damaged.
Gator Guards makes the shield from 18-gauge, mirror-polished 316 marine-grade stainless. The lower edge is reinforced, and the mounting bolts are shearable to help limit gearcase damage in a severe impact. A drain hole keeps water from sitting against the skeg.
No welding, epoxy, or curing is needed, since it bolts on. Verify your Mercury model, horsepower, gearcase, and year before drilling, and check warranty rules about drilled holes. Browse more Skeg Guards for Mercury Verado and other fits.
