Is this skeg considered the rock guard for a gator tail? Not sure what the 2 holes are for either. |

No. That is a regular skeg. I am almost positive, the holes are used to clip a bright colored flag on so cars behind you see it. I could be wrong though. Also looks like there was something there to beef up the skeg, or help with tiller torque. |

Yes. They used to sell an aluminum rock guard that bolted on there. One of my motors has one with the same bolt hole pattern... |

the rock guard isn't listed on GT's webpage. Do they still sell them? Is there an aftermarket company that I could get one from? |

I don't think they well them any more. I could be wrong. I have one on an old 2008 model gator tail.(All torn apart ready for rebuild...) I think they were called a rock/sand guard. I took mine off and drilled holed and put a piece of .25" flat stock below the prop to protect mine from the rocks. Its removable wit 4 1/2" bolts for when I don't need it. Sorry I cant be of more help. |

This is the picture. It bolts on with 4 bolts and is easy to take on and off. I only use this for when I run rocky rivers or the ice is very thick. (Keeps the prop from getting too wild on 6" ice chunks. |
