SwimGuard (Patented)

A "Propeller Guard" That Works!!

Safety Issue: Leaving the motor on or accidentally restarting the motor and backing into a swimmer while he is near the back of the boat. For more information click here.

NOTE: USCG accident reports show a significant amount of propeller strike injuries and fatalities occur while people are swimming near the back of the boat, or simply getting in or out of the water via the boarding ladder. Placards warn to ensure the motor is off, while using the boarding ladder. Unfortunately, too many accidents and fatalities happen during this simple maneuver.

Defense: SwimGuard provides the highest level of human safety of any “propeller guard” offered today.

How it works: This 360-degree propeller encasement design provides swimmers the surest form of protection from accidentally injuring a swimmer due to the boat’s engine running. SwimGuard is truly your last line of defense from a rotating propeller.

Installation & Use: The SwimGuard is easy to install. It is the only “propeller guard” installation not requiring drilling or pulling the boat from the water.

Recommended Use: The SwimGuard should be installed on any non-performance boats.

Features:

  • Customized for a perfect fit from the smallest (9.9 hp) to the largest motors -- single and dual prop.
  • High grade stainless steel construction
  • No drilling or mounting holes required
  • Ease of installation
  • One year manufacturer's warranty

"Sea Support has used MariTech's SwimGuards for over a year and has been very happy with the results. In a hard working environment where we are pulling 1000 ft of oil spill boom around ships and barges on a day to day basis, the SwimGuard has protected the prop from becoming entangled with chains and cables, which sometimes hang from the boom. The SwimGuard also helps avoid damage from blunt force while operating in areas with shallow drafts. The ease of installing and reinstalling the SwimGuards aqfter routine maintenance is remarkable. We at Sea Support recommend the SwimGuard."
