Description
The Panther Safe-Skeg (Model 35SS645) is a precision-engineered stainless steel skeg protector designed for a 2009 Yamaha 150 HP outboard. This 316-marine-grade stainless steel skeg guard offers superior protection for the original skeg fin, helping to prevent damage from underwater impacts, rocks, and debris.
At the lowest point of your outboard’s lower unit, the skeg acts not only as a rudder for maintaining straight course and smooth steering but also shields the propeller from hazards beneath the surface. A bent or chipped skeg can degrade performance and alter handling, this Safe-Skeg ensures you maintain optimal steering efficiency and hull speed.
