What is a SkegShield® Skeg Protector?

 

  • A SkegShield protects your skeg from lake bed rocks, boat ramps, reefs, coral and submerged floating debris.
  • It can also be used to repair a damaged skeg, simply fit over the existing damage.  Even if only 50mm of the original Skeg is left you can fit a Skegshield as a replacement Skeg.
  • Made from high quality Polished Marine Grade Stainless Steel which is twice as strong as an OEM skeg.
  • No welding required, no epoxies, it's an easy do-it-yourself 10 minute application.
  • Does not affect performance and protects your prop.
  • Has a drain hole for when motor is not tilted (storage/boat dock) and drains from front / top when motor is tilted, avoiding water retention. 
  • Superior endcap design with a reinforced lower edge for protection from ramp damage or riverbed / lakebed dragging, and for better water / hydro streamlining. 
  • Comes with a custom engineered low profile stainless steel Allen head machine bolt system for easy installation / removal / reuse. All bolts are knurled, enabling locking attributes for high vibration motors. Also included are two high tinsel strength 5/32" allen wrenches.
  • Skegshield is custom manufactured for the correct fit for your specific drive. We obtain exact measurements from the OEM manufacturer and build to those specifications.
  • Fits most common engine skegs.
  • Remember, any damage at all to your skeg causes performance degredation, significantly reduced protection for your gear case, and exposes your propeller to a higher risk of damage. All of these situations can be very expensive to remedy.
  • Before Skegshield, Skeg damage meant expensive repairs, such as welding on a new skeg... and that meant putting your boat out of commission for days, or even weeks.
  • Skegshield is made in the USA with a 3 year warranty for the original purchaser.
