It replaces Megaware SkegGuard 27211 and Panther 35-SS660, it is made from 18 gauge marine grade 316 stainless steel with a 3 mm lower wear tab, and one guard ships in a 370 mm x 165 mm x 30 mm pack at 640 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe skeg is the fin under the gearcase, and it is the first thing to hit when a motor is tilted down too far on a ramp or run through shallow water. It is also what protects the prop and the gearcase housing behind it, so a skeg worn down to a stub leaves the expensive parts exposed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis guard slips over what is left of the skeg and is held with bolts drilled through it. Megaware rates it as usable with only 2 to 3 inches of original skeg left, which is the point where most skegs are written off and a new gearcase housing is the only other option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe material is 18 gauge marine grade 316 stainless steel, mirror polished, with a 3 mm wear tab along the bottom edge where a skeg takes the most abrasion. There is a drain hole at the bottom of the guard so water cannot sit inside it and corrode the leg or split the guard if it freezes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFitment covers the Mercury and Mariner 75 to 300 HP range listed below, including Command Thrust, SeaPro, the 4.8 in torpedo four strokes and Verado, and the 200 to 250 HP Optimax and ProXS two strokes. The 4.8 in torpedo gearcase is the one to check, and Torquemaster gearcases are not covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications \u0026amp; Attributes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003eNew \/ New with tags\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003eSkeg Guard Protector (Skeg Repair Guard)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003eMegaware SkegGuard Part Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003e27211\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003ePanther Part Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003e35-SS660\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003e18 gauge marine grade 316 stainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003eMirror polished\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003eLower Wear Tab\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003e3 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003eGearcase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003e4.8 in torpedo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003eDrain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003eDrain hole at the bottom prevents water pooling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003eMounting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003eDrill 1\/4 in holes through the skeg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003eInstallation Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003eUnder 10 minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003eMinimum Skeg Left\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003e2 to 3 inches of the original skeg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003eTaiwan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003eQuantity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003e1 guard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003eNet Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003e640 g including packaging\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003ePackaging\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003e370 mm x 165 mm x 30 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003ePackaging In Inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003e14.57 in x 6.50 in x 1.18 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003e3 year\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOEM Cross Reference\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px\"\u003eOEM Part Numbers\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003eMegaware SkegGuard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003e27211\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003ePanther\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px\"\u003e35-SS660\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Engines\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMercury lists this guard across the 75-90-115-135-150-175-200-225-250-275-300 HP range, in the groupings below.
