Why Choose Megaware SkegGuard®?

Investing in the Megaware SkegGuard® means choosing a robust and reliable protection system for your boat’s skeg. Whether you’re navigating rocky waters, fishing in debris-prone areas, or simply looking to extend the life of your lower unit, the SkegGuard® is designed to meet and exceed your expectations.

Durable Construction

Constructed from mirror-polished marine-grade 316 stainless steel, the SkegGuard® is built to withstand harsh marine environments. The 3mm thickened lower wear tab provides extra reinforcement in areas where the skeg is most vulnerable, ensuring long-lasting protection against rocks, debris, and accidental ramp dragging.

Enhanced Performance

The SkegGuard® conforms seamlessly to your lower unit, ensuring there is no noticeable drag or compromise in your boat’s performance. A strategically placed drain hole prevents water from collecting and causing corrosion or freezing, maintaining optimal functionality in all conditions.

Easy Installation

Designed for convenience, the Megaware SkegGuard® can be installed with common tools in under 10 minutes. It secures firmly with self-locking hardware and can be fitted even if only 2-3 inches of the original skeg remain, offering a stronger and more affordable alternative to welding and skeg replacement.
