I hit a sand bar and a buried rock took out a chunk out of my skew. To get it welded was going to cost $450. Ordered this. It fit on so tight. A rubber hammer was needed to lightly get it on perfect! Then, drill 2 holes and tightened with the enclosed stainless steel screws. The screws are designed to shear off if in the future you hit something hard. So I’m now asking myself why not install even if you don’t need yet.

Makes the boat stand out. A had a few scratches on my Skeg. Sanded them down and used this plate to cover them up. Works great.

For my bravo 3 like a champ. Installed in under 5 minutes. Looks better than the regular skeg. Covered my broken self and I’m on the water like it never happened.

I like the look of this product and it was easy to install. The fit was good, but not perfect. That is the only reason why I gave 4 instead of 5 starts.

When I pulled my boat out of the water last year I found that one of my skegs was damaged. When I came across these, I thought, why not try this as opposed to removing outdrive and having my skeg repaired. My boat is currently laid up for the winter so at this time I cannot comment on the quality or ease of installation.

Screws were too short. I had to improvise a bit with a trip to the hardware store.

I purchased this back in 2014. Install was very easy. Attractive shield. I have never struck anything in the water, but I think the previous owner did because there was a small chunk taken out of the skeg and this item restored the look and function of my Bravo 3 drive. However, this year I was very unfortunate and struck a submerged shoal. We were travelling slowly, and I had just looked down to get some beef jerky from my son and it happened. I thought it was going to be bad the way the boat reacted (30 foot). Immediately I went into the mode of inspecting and checking for leaks, and even dived off the boat to inspect hull and drive. All I could be certain of, was the drive had struck. The props looked fine, and rotated nicely. Running the boat home to the marina I was testing for vibrations, and steering, and everything felt fine. The drive performed the rest of the season, although I only went out one more time on it. Now, boat is out of water for the year, and I can really inspect for damages. No hull damage, hull missed the shoal! YAY! But, the drive skeg shield took the brunt. It performed just as it should. One mounting bolt was sheared off, and the shield was bent. But, that looks to be the worst. Drive will be pulled however, serviced and repaired as necessary! I will buy a replacement shield!

Easy to install and fits relatively well. Mounted on a 2006 Bravo 3 2.0 leg with 24P props. There was a gap between the vertical (closest to props) skeg and the guard that looks like it is too big... just an observation.This is my second purchase - ensure you use locktite on the bolts. They have a habit of coming off. When mine did the guard slid into the props and well, enough said.
