Megaware KeelGuard 20208 DIY Boat Keel Protector 8ft Black

The Megaware KeelGuard 20208 is an 8-foot, black, do-it-yourself keel protector engineered to defend your boat's hull against abrasive sand, rocks, concrete ramps, and oyster beds. Unprotected keels are vulnerable to gelcoat breakdown that allows water to penetrate and damage the underlying fiberglass laminates — the KeelGuard forms a tough sacrificial barrier that keeps your investment looking and performing its best.

Patented Engineering & Materials

Co-developed with boat designers and 3M® engineers, the KeelGuard is built from a precision-blended polymer and urethane composite that delivers an optimal balance of toughness and pliability. Self-sealing contoured edges permanently bond to the hull surface without messy sealants, while angled grooves create hydrodynamic drag-reduction channels that keep your boat running at full speed. UV inhibitors and anti-fungal agents are built into the material to prevent fading and degradation over time.
