Why Choose SkegGuard®?

Replacing or repairing a damaged skeg can be expensive and time-consuming. The Megaware SkegGuard® offers an affordable alternative, saving you hundreds of dollars in potential repairs while ensuring your motor remains protected against common underwater hazards.

Superior Construction

Crafted from high-quality marine grade 316 stainless steel, the SkegGuard® features an extra-reinforced wear tab across the bottom. This 3mm thickened lower plate is specifically designed to withstand abrasions from hidden rocks, debris, and accidental ramp dragging. The drain hole prevents water accumulation, reducing the risk of corrosion and freezing.

Seamless Performance

The SkegGuard® is meticulously designed to conform to your lower unit, ensuring no noticeable drag or compromise in motor performance. Its mirror-polished finish not only enhances aesthetic appeal but also contributes to the skeg's longevity.

Easy Installation

Installing the Megaware SkegGuard® is a straightforward process that can be completed in less than 10 minutes using common tools. The self-locking hardware ensures a secure fit, and it can be fitted even if only 2-3 inches of the original skeg remain. This makes it a practical choice for both new installations and repairs.

Comprehensive Warranty

We stand behind the quality of our SkegGuard®. Megaware offers a three-year warranty from the date of purchase. Please retain your receipt as proof of purchase to validate your warranty claim.
