Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I know if this skeg guard will fit my MerCruiser drive?

A: This guard is specifically for MerCruiser Bravo 1 and Bravo 3 models from 1990–Present with the larger gearcase and oil recirculation system. It will not fit XR or Sportmaster models. Please verify your drive model before ordering. You will also need a minimum of 2-3 inches of your original skeg remaining for a successful installation.
