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

Re: Gator tail rock guard 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. _________________ Refurbishing a Prodrive |

Re: Gator tail rock guard 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...

Re: Gator tail rock guard 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?

Re: Gator tail rock guard 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. |

Re: Gator tail rock guard 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. You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post. |

Re: Gator tail rock guard There's some Russian on YouTube that has a rock guard with two fins sticking off each side. It's huge
