An outboard motor drive shaft housing attachment apparatus includes at least one extended fin plate, having a raised front portion and a pair of angled side portion and an attachment bar shaped to fit an opening in the outboard motor shaft housing. The attachment bar is passed through the opening in the shaft housing and removably attached to the fin plate with fasteners. Additional fasteners are used to attach the fin plate to the outboard motor shaft housing. The fin plate can have anti-skid steps formed thereon and a sacrificial anode attached thereto. A method of attaching an outboard motor attachment, comprises the steps of removing the outboard drive shaft housing sacrificial anode to leave an opening through the housing; sliding a shaft through the opening in the housing created by the removal of the sacrificial anode; attaching a fin plate to the shaft extending through the shaft housing opening; and then attaching the fin plate directly to the housing with threaded fasteners. Additional steps may include selecting a fin plate with non-skid surface steps thereon and attaching a sacrificial anode thereto to replace the sacrificial anode removed from the shaft housing.
