Abstract

An apparatus and method of manufacturing a skeg protector to cover a motorboat skeg to prevent damage to the skeg and to the propellers. The SkegProtector™ apparatus is made of a composite of non-stainless steel woven material of high material strength and durability, such as carbon fiber, Kevlar®, fiberglass, titanium, and polyethylene fiber. It is affixed over the skeg using marine grade underwater adhesive, and without installing bolts or other mechanical means to secure it. Methods of manufacture comprise the use of curing using a heated platen press on aluminum molds encasing multiple layers (7) of woven material and a mandrel.
