This is the part that goes over the skeg at the bottom of the gearcase and takes the scrapes that would otherwise wear the aluminium away. It replaces Megaware SkegGuard 27061 and crosses to Panther 35-SS620, it weighs 670 g with packaging, and it covers the Mercury 75 to 175 HP four strokes and two strokes listed in the table below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe skeg is the fin under the gearcase. It is the lowest point on the engine, and on a ramp or a shallow beach it is the part that touches first. Aluminium wears away, and once enough of it has gone the gearcase is exposed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe guard slides on over what is left of the skeg and bolts through it. It does not replace a skeg that has snapped off clean at the housing, but it will cover one that is worn down, rounded off, or broken short, as long as 2 to 3 inches of the original is still there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e316 stainless is the grade for salt water. It is fitted with a rubber mallet in under ten minutes, and the pre-drilled holes are used to mark the skeg before it is drilled with a 1\/4 inch bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a drain hole at the bottom of the guard so water does not sit inside it and freeze or corrode. The 3 mm lower wear tab is the part that takes the ramp, so it is thicker than the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications \u0026amp; Attributes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable
