Troubleshooting & FAQ
Will this fit my specific motor?
This is a vehicle-specific part fitting a wide range of 40-140 HP Honda, Mercury, Nissan/Tohatsu, and Force outboards. However, always review the Engine & Model Compatibility table and measure your skeg to confirm fitment before ordering.
Is drilling required for installation?
Yes, this is a bolt-on protector that requires drilling two holes in your existing skeg. This ensures a secure attachment that will not come loose during operation.
What is the purpose of the drain hole?
The drain hole at the bottom of the guard allows water to escape freely. This prevents trapped water from causing corrosion or freezing and expanding in cold weather, which could damage the skeg.
How does this guard compare to the original OEM part?
This aftermarket guard is designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications. It is constructed from high-quality 18-gauge 316 stainless steel, offering excellent protection and longevity.
What are the signs my skeg needs a protector?
If your skeg has existing damage like chips, cracks, or a bent tip, a protector guard can cover the damage and prevent it from worsening. It is also an excellent preventative measure if you frequently operate in shallow or debris-filled waters.
