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.

Puppy loves these sticks!
Color: Dogwood & Calming, Size: Medium
Dogs love these sticks! Must smell and taste like real wood because it keeps my puppy from bringing real sticks in the house from outside. She is a heavy chewer and these sticks keep her occupied. We are on our 2nd set.

Our dog loves it but it wasn’t durable enough to last
Color: Dogwood Jack, Size: Large, Color: Dogwood Jack, Size: Large
Our lab took to it as soon as we gave it to her. Perfect size for our 80 lb yellow lab. However, now that it’s in about 10 days, she’s able to break off chunks from this bone that are dime size or larger, and we have to throw it away

No problems after a year and a half
Color: Dogwood & Calming, Size: Medium
Have been regularly buying these for my corgi for about a year and a half. The 2 pack lasts about a month or 2 each time. Pieces break off in small enough pieces that they safely pass through his digestive system. He gnaws each one down to about 1/4 the original size before we take it away and give him a new one. He continues to have regular bowel movements and has a healthy appetite so I can’t imagine any problems arising after so long. I have tried other alternatives and every other similar chew breaks off in larger pieces and didn’t feel comfortable letting him chew/eat them. I noticed there are a few 1 star reviews saying their dogs got sick off these but after a year and a half I have had 0 issues with this product. I guess it depends on the dog and how big of pieces they are swallowing. My dog ingests pieces about the size of a grain of rice so just pay attention and you should be fine.
