Yessir!! Looks ssuhweet!! How about a little installation rundown? Was it easy? Prep Work? Your opinion on if it will weaken the skeg? Did you have to drill? Others may be contemplating an instal and would like to know.

I don't think it would weaken the skeg; it really doesn't add any stress to an already unstressed area. Only thing that really stresses a skeg is hitting a rock at speed ... :lol::wacko::lol::wacko::lol:. Skegshield or no ... that skeg would be gone!

Toxic you only have to drill two holes. It does not weaken the skeg and if the skeg is bent you may have to work on it to get it straight. Less than 10 min. to put it on. No glue or anything else just the two bolts The only prep work was clean the skeg good and if it needs painting do it before you put the shield on. Other wise nothing to do. The instructions guide you thru the whole installation. Easy to do. I would tell anyone that has a skeg that has been damaged to go this route. Thanks for all your help.
