Porter Rock Guard = :thumbup: :thumbup:

Mojo has the full one from Porter - we've hit rocks while going just barely fast enough to knock us over inside the boat...NO damage to motor any of those times.

River...hit many a rock...flawless so far. It's made of stainless steel...and works. :-?

That might work if I had the piece that broke off.
