Beautiful and shiny best in Guards & Covers

Nice item but didn't fit after I sent the motor size it was supposed to be. Heck if I could find the right one I would buy it. They had fast shipping and easy returns.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Real experience, IT WORKS! And it looks great!

Saved my sub block before, it fell out immediately, had to tie it down with a guy line as the bolts are shear bolts for a reason. Does what it's supposed to and is an attractive addition.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Great price

Fantastic product! - Motorcycle and Powersports

This is an amazing product! Really looks better than the factory. In the future I will post them to increase the strength of the skeg! It's stronger than aluminum. Installation went great! I called the factory and you won't find better people to deal with!

Pros
  • Decent Performance
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging

Fits perfectly, assembled in 10 minutes, looks great.

Got mine today for Mercury 2015 150 hp The delivery took a little longer, 26 days instead of 3. I haven't installed it yet, but the product itself looks better than I expected. Post Install: I was a bit worried about drilling out the last piece of sgek that was left on the engine. It turns out that this does not require any skills. Clean, chisel, drill, screw, all in less than 10 minutes.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Not automatic

Experienced sailor

After 57 years in Galveston Bay and an average depth of 5 feet, I've always protected the skeg. This one is even better than the previous one because it has a drain hole to drain the salt water. I went through oyster reefs and poisoned the skeg thinking it was all torn, only to find the skeg's protection was polished without a single scratch. Before they came out, I broke every skeg on every engine with costly repairs. Not again. Steve from Baytown, Texas

Pros
  • Great build
Cons
  • Some cons

Very nice renovation!

The skeg broke off my late 80's Mercury 115 "Tower Of Power” when I bought it. Even though a few people told me everything would be ok, I still wanted everything to be ok. I had to wait a bit to get it, but it was worth the wait. It arrived this morning. I installed it very easily by poking into the rest of my broken skeg and drilling holes to mount it. I had to trim one of the Chicago bolts to get it properly tightened, but this is a perfect replacement compared to a $1500 repair!

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Vanish

Fits Bigfoot 25hp in engine guard

I couldn't find a skeg guard for a Mercury 25hp Bigfoot anywhere. 2001. In my research trying to find a weld on a replacement skeg, I found that the skeg I would need was actually for a 40-60hp Mercenary. So I took a chance and ordered this skeg shield. The motor I bought from the shed was missing part of the skeg so I had to drill another 5/16" hole to install it. Yes, this may void my warranty, but it saved me loads of time. If I were really smart I could cut this skeg guard around the gear…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
