Skeg Guard for Evinrude/Johnson
The JLM Marine model JLM0071 is a stainless steel, bolt-on skeg protector for the engine and drive applications identified by the reference checks below. It fits over the skeg below the lower unit to help limit wear. A damaged skeg must retain enough sound material to support the guard and its mounting hardware.
Check Before Ordering
Match the brand, horsepower, model, gearcase, year and every restriction in the application table. Engines with the same horsepower can use different lower units. Confirm the actual skeg profile before ordering.

Construction & Package
One stainless steel skeg guard. The listing identifies this as a mounting-hardware kit; confirm the current hardware pack with JLM Marine if bolt sizes, tools or a drill bit are required.
Before Installation
- Keep the engine off and the boat secure. Follow the engine and kit instructions.
- Check the guard profile, seating and mounting position before drilling. Do not force a mismatched guard into place.
- Use the drilling size, fasteners and tightening procedure specified for the actual kit; generic instructions may not apply.
- Do not install on a cracked gearcase or a skeg with insufficient sound material. Ask a qualified marine technician if damage or fit is uncertain.
This guard does not guarantee protection from collisions, restore a structurally damaged lower unit or guarantee improved steering or speed.

Email info@jlm-marine.com with the full engine or drive model, model year, serial-number details, shaft length, and clear side and rear photos of the skeg. Include any reference number you are replacing.
