Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I know if this guard will fit my 40-65hp motor?

A: This 13" guard is designed for most outboards in the 40-65hp range with a standard Class C gearcase. However, it is not recommended for Big Foot or High Thrust models, which require our larger 14" model for proper clearance. Always measure your propeller diameter and cavitation plate area to confirm fitment before ordering.

Q: Is there a speed limitation when using this guard?

A: Yes. This propeller guard is not warranted for use at speeds exceeding 25 mph. High speeds can introduce significant hydrodynamic drag and stress on the polypropylene housing and mounting hardware.

Q: What tools are required for installation?

A: Installation typically requires only simple hand tools (e.g., a wrench or socket set). The process involves bolting the guard directly to the engine's cavitation plate and should take approximately 30 minutes. All necessary mounting hardware is included.
