Has anyone ever used the skeg guards for a broken skeg? I only broke off a small piece of the skeg.

I am really tired of all the scratches on my 2008 Ranger. Do you guys stay out the trees or do you apply some type of product to hide and help prevent future scratches?

The scrach removing wax compounds cannot hide scraches that are have removed the paint.

Get a motor cover with vents to protect the motor. As far as the paint on a fiberglass boat; it is going to scratch if you take her in the brush. I like having a backup alum. for those Spring brush fishing trips.

Brasso works great to take out scratchs on the gel coat! Then a good coat of wax.

I broke the tip of my skeg and put a stainless skeg guard on. Looks great and will protect from future damage.
