Easy installation
Skeg was slightly worn on 90 Johnson outboard. Installed this protector, looks great and works well. Hit some shallow mudflats a couple times so far and no damage or wear.

OMC 5.0L Sterndrive (1988 Bayliner Capri)
Product description says 3.0L and can't find any others that show 5.0 or 5.7 - Will show picture later after some H20 time but appears that it fits mine (which is a 5.0 version) after a few minutes for installation.

Works as specified
Went to lake champlain and it was low. Hit bottom a few times. No skegdamage. This really helpedUpdate. Upon closer inspection i did find a half inch dent on bottom of the skeg shield but it was at a place where the skeg did not come in contact with the shield. Small gap on bottom. Still satisfied that it works as it should.

Easy to install
I hit an oyster bed (or 4) with my boat while fishing in the gulf, and ripped my skew to (censored). My engine had a really bad pull, and I was concerned that my entire boat was at risk (I/O). I bought this, and trimmed a bit more skeg off, and boom, runs like new! This has give, so if it hits, it will be destroyed, but that was intended, as the stronger ones won't break, because your engine will.

Instructional video incorrect - use 5/16
Do not follow their online video. The man on their website instructional video specifically states use a 7/16 drill bit - this is not correct per the instructions.

awesome product
I didnt realize I was missing so much of my skeg until I got this. I thought I needed to take it to a welding shop so was happy to find this. Got it in 2 days, installed in 15 minutes. Its like a new boat! Steers and tracks much better.

Great look to lower leg
Yes it looks and fit great on the 2001 Suzuki 115 HP outboard. Gives the lower unit a new appearance. Only thing it seems the mounting fasteners are getting rusty in where home Allen keys fits to tighten them up. Was suppose to be all stainless. Showing signs of rust after only three uses.
