Manufacturer

Megaware KeelGuard

<h3>About Megaware KeelGuard</h3><p><strong>Megaware KeelGuard</strong> has been synonymous with boat hull protection since 1992, when the Ogden, Utah-based company introduced what would become the marine industry's first patented, do-it-yourself keel protector. Decades later, the brand remains a family-owned innovator trusted by recreational anglers, professional fishing circuits, and even U.S. Coast Guard fleets around the world.</p><p>Every time a boat slides up a concrete ramp, grazes a sandbar, or bumps against a rocky shoreline, the gelcoat and fiberglass beneath take the hit. Left unprotected, that wear can compromise structural integrity and lead to costly repairs. Megaware KeelGuard was built around a simple idea: give boaters a durable, easy-to-apply shield that absorbs that punishment so their hull doesn't have to.</p><h3>Engineered for the Marine Environment</h3><p>The flagship <strong>KeelGuard</strong> is co-developed with boat designers and 3M engineers, combining a precise blend of abrasion-resistant polymers and urethanes with a powerful pressure-sensitive 3M adhesive. Its patented contoured edge bonds seamlessly to the hull surface, eliminating the need for messy sealants, while built-in hydrodynamic grooves create air pockets that actually reduce drag rather than interrupt performance. UV inhibitors and anti-fungal agents are formulated directly into the material, keeping colors vibrant and the product structurally sound through years of harsh marine exposure. The KeelGuard is available in multiple lengths to fit boats from 14 to 30 feet, and in a wide selection of colors to complement virtually any hull finish.</p><h3>A Complete Lineup of Boat Protection</h3><p>Megaware has steadily expanded beyond keel protection to address vulnerabilities across the entire vessel. The <strong>SkegGuard</strong> and <strong>SkegPro</strong> are crafted from marine-grade stainless steel to shield outboard motor skegs from rocks, ramps, and debris — offering an affordable solution that also repairs already-damaged skegs. For pontoon boat owners, the <strong>PontoonGuard</strong> protects the sides of pontoon tubes from dock scrapes and contact damage. The <strong>ScuffBuster Bow Guard</strong> addresses a common trailering headache, protecting the bow from unsightly marring caused by trailer rollers. Rounding out the lineup, the <strong>FlexStep Pro</strong> is an adjustable trailer step designed to make boarding safer and more convenient, while the <strong>BatteryGuard</strong> and <strong>Grip Guard</strong> bring the same protection-first philosophy to additional onboard components.</p><h3>Why Boaters Trust Megaware KeelGuard</h3><p>What sets Megaware apart is not just product breadth, but a commitment to engineering that goes deeper than surface-level protection. All KeelGuard products are designed for straightforward DIY installation — no specialized tools, no professional installation required. The brand backs its flagship keel protectors with a lifetime warranty against abrasive wear and adhesion failure for the original purchaser, a level of confidence that is rare in the marine accessories market. Whether you own a small aluminum fishing boat, a fiberglass bass boat, or a rigid inflatable, Megaware KeelGuard offers a purpose-built solution to keep your watercraft investment protected on the water and at the ramp.</p>

Product Details

The Megaware KeelGuard 20707 is a 7-foot, charcoal-colored DIY keel protector designed to shield the leading edge of your boat's hull from the damage caused by sand, rocks, concrete boat ramps, and oyster beds. Sized for use on boats 19 to 20 feet in length, this abrasion-resistant strip bonds directly to the keel, defending the gelcoat finish from wear that can allow water to penetrate and destroy fiberglass laminates beneath.

Patented Engineering with 3M Adhesion Technology:

  • Developed in collaboration with boat designers and 3M engineers for optimal performance
  • Constructed from a precise blend of abrasion-resistant polymers and urethanes for maximum durability and pliability
  • 3M pressure-sensitive adhesive permanently bonds and seals the KeelGuard's contoured edges to the hull surface
  • Patented hydrodynamic drag-reduction design features angled grooves that create air pockets for a slicker surface — no reduction in boat speed
  • Self-sealing contoured edges provide a seamless, professional-looking fit

Color, Size & Compatibility:

  • Color: Charcoal — UV-stabilized for lasting, fade-resistant color
  • Length: 7 feet — recommended for boats 19 to 20 feet in length
  • Width: 5 inches
  • Compatible with fiberglass boats and select aluminum boats
  • Not compatible with kayaks, canoes, pontoon tubes, or boats with raised center keels higher than 1/4 inch
  • Must be installed on bare hull surface — not over vinyl wrap or anti-fouling paint

What's Included:

  • KeelGuard strip (7ft, Charcoal)
  • Scotch-Brite pad
  • Primer wipe
  • Burnishing tool
  • Step-by-step installation instructions
  • Isopropyl alcohol required for prep (not included)

Lifetime Warranty: Megaware guarantees the KeelGuard to the original purchaser against abrasive wear and adhesion failure during normal use for as long as you own your boat. Installation typically takes about one hour, making this the easiest and most reliable keel protection solution available for fiberglass boat owners.
