Hopefully I won't find out how many miles I can travel with this thing dragging the road. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Does what it should. *by W***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2022* The guard should have been 1/4 inch longer. Skeg on motor was damaged on the side not the bottom. Was necessary to remove some material from the bottom of the Skeg to get a tight fit. I think it was designed for more serious damage. If there was no damage…..would hate to remove part of the the bottom of Skeg to make fit. Quality of material is very good. Easy installation. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Super easy fix *by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2022* Perfect fit and had my pontoon back on the water in a couple days. Only took 10 minutes to install. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/13701706-27071-skegguard-fix-broken-motor-skeg-prevent-damage-protects-skeg](https://www.desertcart.us/products/13701706-27071-skegguard-fix-broken-motor-skeg-prevent-damage-protects-skeg) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-23*
