The NK180 Weed Cutter & Skeg works with the original NK180 and NK180 Pro. It is a high-strength skeg replacement engineered to keep your NK180 propeller free from weeds, grass, and fishing line. Printed from nylon carbon fiber for exceptional strength and durability, it provides a rugged upgrade over the stock skeg.
This assembly uses two replaceable standard utility blades and is available in two blade options: a corrosion-resistant steel version for freshwater use, or a ceramic blade option designed for saltwater environments. Blades are oriented in both directions, allowing a quick bump into reverse to help clear stubborn weeds wrapped around the prop.
⚠️ SAFETY WARNING
This product contains sharp blades - handle with care
