Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I know if this will fit my Mercury engine?

A: This protector fits Mercury/Mariner 40-60 HP outboards (1991–Present) with the smaller 3.44" gearcase (2.07 ratio). It also fits Evinrude/Johnson 40-50 HP 4-Stroke (1999-2003). If your motor has the larger Bigfoot/Command Thrust/SeaPro gearcase (4.25"), you need part number 27071 instead.

Q: Do I need to drill holes into my skeg?

A: Yes, this is a bolt-on protector. You will need to drill two holes into your existing skeg using the provided drill bit. The kit includes all necessary mounting hardware for a secure fit.

Q: What is the benefit of the drain hole?

A: The drain hole at the bottom prevents water from collecting inside the protector. This feature helps prevent corrosion, galvanic action, and potential damage from freezing temperatures, extending the life of your gearcase.

Decent value for the money.
Size: 6FT*6FT, Color: Grey
Was easy to assemble. Instructions were clear. Tools were supplied. It really needs to be assembled wherever you're going to be putting it as it can come apart easily when moved. The cross bars simply fit into open ended plastic 90 degree female ends. Overall for the money and to just have some division in a room it's a good value.

Garbage
Size: 6FT*6FT, Color: Black
This product is absolute garbage! It literally took all day to put it together and if the air conditioning blows on it the wrong way than the whole thing top over and it falls apart. It’s not made of quality material and is very flimsy. The only reason I’m not returning it is because it’s too difficult to put together and I don’t wanna spend that much time trying to take it apart. Do not buy this!

Cheap
Size: 6FT*6FT, Color: Black
They serve their purpose as long as you leve them in one place and not moving them around and they're kinda flimsy and some of the velcros are cut too short and can't stay closed

Worth the investment
Size: 1 Panel, Size: 1 Panel
I had to order this in an emergency. To put it in brief words, I live in a two level studio unit. My bedroom TV fell backwards off the bureau accidentally and down the stairs to its demise. Putting this together was no problem, instructions were thorough and easy. It came with several bars that connected together smoothly and an Allen key for the brackets and screws for the feet. I did one less horizontal bar on top and bottom so it could fit, which was great because with all of them on it was too long. However I ran into the difficulty of the horizontal bars popping out of the brackets during the last stages, but eventually got it done. I was also looking for a specific type of divider where I could adjust the feet so I could tuck it in between the dresser and banister. Glad I made this purchase.
