The Panther Safe Skeg is designed for both prevention and repair. A broken skeg can decrease your outboard engines performance and alter its factory smooth steering.
The safe skeg features a drain hole allowing trapped water to escape preventing corrosion and freeze up. Safe skeg is brilliantly polished with a seamless design that truly adds looks of distinction to any outboard.
Let me show you how easy it is to install a Panther Safe Skeg. The kit includes all mounting hardware and easy to follow instructions. All you need to provide is a drill and a 5/16th inch bit. Whether you are installing a safe skeg on an intact skeg for protection or a damaged skeg like this one for repair purposes, you’ll only need to drill two holes.
Simply slide safe skeg over your new or damaged skeg. You may need to tap in place with a rubber hammer or a block of wood. Your new safe skeg should fit tightly against the bullet of the gear case and lay perfectly in line with the drive shaft. With the safe skeg fitted properly in place, use a 5/16th inch drill bit to drill through the skeg while staying in line with the pre drilled holes. Once the holes are drilled in the skeg, align the post and screw fastener sets provided and tighten them lightly to be sure of fit then remove the screws and apply lock tight to the threads before retightening securely with the provided alien wrench.
Constructed from 1.5 millimeter, 316 brilliantly polished stainless steel, the safe skeg is designed for a multitude of makes and models including most I/O’s and standard outboards ranging from 40 to 300 horsepower. With the instillation of the safe skeg complete in just minutes, now… I’m going to get back on the water.
Shallow landings and rocks are all part of boating. The Safe Skeg puts my mind at ease. Let it do the same for you.
