Customize
SkegShield by Gator Guards is a mirror-polished, 18-gauge 316 marine-grade stainless steel skeg guard engineered to protect outboard and sterndrive lower units from reef, rock and ramp damage. The shield features a reinforced lower edge that is twice as strong as OEM skegs, an exclusive drain hole to prevent water retention and corrosion, and shearable bolts designed to break away during high-impact collisions to protect the gearcase.

Compatible with multiple Mercury/Mariner models, SkegShield offers long-lasting reliability, helps prevent costly lower-unit repairs and is backed by a 3-year warranty. Made in the USA.
