Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I know if this will fit my Mercury engine?

A: This protector fits Mercury/Mariner 40-60 HP outboards (1991–Present) with the smaller 3.44" gearcase (2.07 ratio). It also fits Evinrude/Johnson 40-50 HP 4-Stroke (1999-2003). If your motor has the larger Bigfoot/Command Thrust/SeaPro gearcase (4.25"), you need part number 27071 instead.

Q: Do I need to drill holes into my skeg?

A: Yes, this is a bolt-on protector. You will need to drill two holes into your existing skeg using the provided drill bit. The kit includes all necessary mounting hardware for a secure fit.

Q: What is the benefit of the drain hole?

A: The drain hole at the bottom prevents water from collecting inside the protector. This feature helps prevent corrosion, galvanic action, and potential damage from freezing temperatures, extending the life of your gearcase.

The best no show socks
The only no show socks I have ever found that do not slide down. These are very comfortable and the extra tab on the back provides comfort by keeping shoes from rubbing the back of your foot. The top of the sock also comes up high enough to cushion the top of your foot all while still remaining hidden while wearing tennis shoes or even with my hey dudes.
