A propeller guard including inner circumferential component defining a multi-angled band formed of a plurality of independently radiused sections and an outer fluid amplifier extending along sides of the inner circumferential component. The band may also include a plurality of evenly spaced ports therethrough. The propeller guard is designed to improve the performance characteristics, specifically acceleration, planing, speed and steering, of the motor. The outer fluid amplifier increases flow of fluid through the ports of the inner circumferential component and further improves performance characteristics of the boat and motor to which the propeller guard is attached.
