9" Propeller Safety Guard – Fits 9.9-20 HP Outboard Motors

This propeller safety guard is designed for a universal fit on most 9.9 HP to 20 HP outboard motors, including models from Mercury, Yamaha, Johnson/Evinrude, Honda, Suzuki, and Tohatsu/Nissan. It provides a protective cage around the propeller to significantly reduce the risk of injury to swimmers and marine life while also helping to prevent propeller damage in shallow, rocky waters. Note: This guard is not compatible with Big Foot or High Thrust models, which have a larger gearcase and require an 11" guard.

This guard protects propellers up to 8.5" in diameter and is intended for boats operating at speeds up to 25 mph (40 kph).

  • Installation: Bolts directly to the outboard's cavitation plate and skeg.
  • Material: Constructed from durable, high-visibility polypropylene plastic.
  • Hardware: Includes a full set of stainless steel mounting hardware.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I know if this 9" guard will fit my 9.9-20 HP motor?

A: This guard is designed for a universal fit on most standard 9.9-20 HP outboards. However, it is not compatible with Big Foot or High Thrust models, which have a larger gearcase and require an 11" guard. Always measure your propeller diameter; this guard fits propellers up to 8.5".

Q: Can I use this propeller guard at high speeds?

A: Use at high speeds is not recommended. For safety and performance reasons, you should not exceed 25 mph (40 kph) with this guard installed.

Q: Is installation difficult? Do I need to drill into my engine?

A: Installation requires drilling holes in the cavitation plate (the plate above the propeller). The process is straightforward and takes approximately 25-30 minutes with basic tools. A drill bit and all necessary mounting hardware are included.
