1. What types of rescue operations is this guard suited for?
It's targeted exclusively at high-water rescue teams using smaller Evinrude 15-30 HP outboards on inflatable boats, jon boats, or auxiliary craft for shallow-water searches, low-water extractions, and flood
support roles by Coast Guards and volunteer fire departments.
2. How does it handle shallow-water hazards in emergencies?
The guard shields the compact lower unit from rocks, curbs, debris, and other submerged threats in flooded areas, reducing the risk of dents, punctures, or gear case damage that could sideline critical secondary vessels.
3. Will it fit our existing Evinrude 15-30 HP models?
Absolutely—it's custom-fit for these listed optional specific horsepower ranges with an easy bolt-on design, compatible with
standard setups and no impact on portability.
4. What maintenance is required for fleet use?
Minimal; it's built from durable, corrosion-resistant materials. We recommend integrating it into annual inspections, similar to protocols used by partnering fire departments like Glasgow FD.
5. Does it add weight or affect maneuverability?
No significant weight addition—it's lightweight yet tough, ensuring your smaller rescue boats retain agility in tight, debris-laden zones without compromising speed or handling.
6. Can volunteer departments get special pricing?
Yes, we offer budget-friendly options and discounts for verified volunteer fire departments and rescue agencies to support community-based high-water operations.
