Well getting to the end of the year. My Yamaha 225 's skeg is looking a little abused. Thinking about getting her looking pretty again but this time putting a skeg protector on it.

Does anybody have any imput good or bad about Skeg Protectors?

Do they Really Work?

Who makes a good one?

Most SKEGS will put a paper bag over thier head or put on alot of makeup to make themselves look pretty. My suggestion?...Let Joe or Bill be your SKEG protector, at 2:30am, all SKEGS look good, so you have to be careful!

I have seen problems with the stainless skeg protectors. Instead of taking a chunk out of your skeg, which is easily fixed, you can actually rip off the whole skeg. If skeg is broke off too close to housing you are looking at a new gearcase. Also can void warranty on gearcase if new motor.
