The Megaware SkegGuard® Stainless Steel Replacement Skeg (27411) is a high-strength protective solution designed to replace or reinforce worn, damaged, or broken skegs on outboard and sterndrive motors. This heavy-duty skeg shield restores steering performance, protects the lower unit, and helps prevent costly repairs caused by rocks, debris, ramps, and shallow waters.
Crafted from marine-grade stainless steel, the 27411 SkegGuard provides excellent impact resistance and corrosion protection in both freshwater and saltwater environments. Its robust construction ensures long-lasting durability while maintaining proper hydrodynamics for smooth, efficient propulsion.
Installation is simple and secure, requiring no drilling, as the SkegGuard clamps directly over the existing skeg using included stainless steel hardware. Once installed, it reinforces the lower unit, restores reliable tracking, and preserves propeller alignment, giving boaters confidence in shallow or debris-prone waters.
Ideal for anglers, recreational boaters, and professional operators, the Megaware SkegGuard 27411 offers peace of mind and enhanced protection for your outboard or sterndrive.

Warranty
Megaware guarantees your Megaware SkegGuard® for a period of three years from the date of purchase. Please retain receipt for proof of purchase date.
Reinforced 3mm Wear Tab: The bottom edge is extra-thick to absorb the brunt of ground strikes and sand abrasion.
316 Marine-Grade Stainless Steel: High-nickel content steel ensures the guard remains rust-free and maintains its mirror finish even in harsh saltwater.
Drain Hole Technology: A strategic hole at the lowest point prevents water from sitting against the aluminum, which stops galvanic corrosion and prevents freeze-cracking in winter.
DIY Installation: Slips over the existing skeg and secures with two recessed, self-locking stainless steel bolts (included).
Minimal Drag: The thin-walled 18-gauge profile is hydrodynamically shaped to ensure no loss of top-end speed or handling performance.

Compatibility Tip: This model is specifically for the newer "V6" platform. If you have an older 2-stroke Optimax or a Verado, you likely need the 27211.
Prep: File any jagged edges or "spurs" on your broken skeg so the guard can slide on smoothly.
Seat: Use a rubber mallet to gently tap the SkegGuard onto the skeg until it is fully seated against the gearcase.
Drill: Using the pre-drilled holes in the SkegGuard as your guide, drill two 1/4" holes through your aluminum skeg.
Secure: Install the provided stainless steel "Chicago-style" bolts and tighten using the hex keys included in the kit.
