Prevent gearcase damage and protect your skeg with SkegShield® by Gator Guards. Installs in minutes to repair an already broken skeg with 27 American-made models engineered to fit your exact outboard or inboard. If your engine model is not listed, unfortunately, we do not have a model that will fit your specific needs.
With your keel guarded and your bow shielded from damage, there is one part of the boat that is still exposed to excessive risk of damage, and that is your skeg. Gator Guards offers an extensive line of SkegShield skeg guards to protect your outboard or stern drive from damage.
All SkegShields are made of 18-gauge, mirror finish polished 316 marine grade stainless steel. The SkegShield is further reinforced on the lower edge for protection that makes SkegShield twice as strong as any OEM skeg. SkegShield doesn’t stop there, we were the first to include a drain hole to prevent water retention & corrosion!
27 Models available to fit your exact outboard or inboard engine. Mercury, Yamaha, Evinrude, Mercruiser, Mariner, Suzuki, Johnson, Honda, Force, Volvo Penta, and Tohatsu. Use the engine guide above to find your SkegShield

Installation Tips:
All SkegShields are easy to install. There is no welding—no messy glue, adhesive or epoxy, and best of all no curing or down time. You’ll be back on the water in under 30 minutes and since we don’t have a foot or skid plate welded on the bottom we won’t affect your boat’s performance. If your motor is still under warranty – please check with your manufacturer about drilling holes in the skeg to mount a skeg guard.

TOP TESTIMONIALS
Awesome discounts on fishing reels and GPSs. Plus they have next day shipping. The convenience of online shopping is awesome, especially since it's getting harder to get around in store. They made sure I got the electronics I needed and all the hardware for the install. They even do repair and installs, so I ended up hiring them for the work I needed done on my Mercury. Awesome experience.
JAMES
Great experience! I Was looking to purchase a head gaskets for my Johnson 150 hp outboard motor. Mike & Ashley researched parts I needed and come to find out they turned me on to my outboard engine used O-Rings to reassemble my head covers and provided me with parts and torque specs! Thanks! 100% positive feedback and Recommend this Family Business if you need Marine Supplies.
SCOTT
Family owned and operated, which is a huge plus for me! I was browsing the website looking at Garmin gps units, their prices are great and competitive! I reached out to them to ask where I might find a hard to find lower unit part I was needing. They had it in stock! If they don’t have something in stock, they will get it asap! 100% recommend and I will buy from them again in the future!
MATT
Mike's marine work for me has always been of the highest quality and pricing is honest and competitive. My background as a mechanical engineer makes me an overly pickie customer; even so I would gladly recommend this group to my friends. Mike, especially is a smart contact for his overall knowledge. He is not, I repeat, is not, a parts replacer but a sensible mechanic. Consequently they have my respect and a future supplier of my Marine and auto needs.
