Don't let a propeller get the best of you, literally. Adventure Marine Mfg. Inc. created a patented propeller protection with the Propeller Safety Guard, good for outboard and inboard-outboard drives. The Propeller Guard shields water-skiers, swimmers and divers when they get too close to the propeller. The guard, made in sizes from 8-inch to 16-inch diameter propellers, is stainless-steel and electro-polished for a sturdy life. While water can flow through, those precious appendages of yours remain outside, helping to prevent some serious accidents. The guard is a good fit for the family boat, or even rental boats. Prices start at $207.
