Megaware KeelGuard 20408 8ft Keel Protector - Sand

Megaware KeelGuard 20408 is the original, patented, DIY keel protector designed to defend your boat's hull from the damage caused by sand, rocks, concrete boat ramps, and oyster beds. Wear and abrasion on your boat's keel can break down the protective gelcoat finish, allowing water to penetrate and destroy the underlying fiberglass laminates — the KeelGuard stops that damage before it starts. This listing is for the 8-foot length in Sand color, one of over 11 UV-stabilized color options available.

Key Features:

• Abrasion-resistant polymer composite — built from a precise blend of high-quality polymers and urethanes engineered for optimal durability and pliability
• 3M premium pressure-sensitive adhesive — permanently bonds and seals the KeelGuard's contoured edges directly to the hull surface for a watertight fit
• Hydrodynamic drag-reduction channels — angled grooves create air pockets along the keel surface, providing a slicker surface with no reduction in boat speed or performance
• Self-sealing contoured edges — eliminates the need for messy sealants; edges conform to the shape of your hull
• UV-stabilized Sand color — color-stable finish that resists fading for the life of the product
• Complete DIY installation kit included — comes with 3M primer and adhesive, etching pad, burnishing tool, and step-by-step instructions; no special tools required
• American-made — designed and manufactured in the USA by a small, family-owned business

Lifetime Warranty: Megaware guarantees this KeelGuard to the original purchaser against abrasive wear and adhesion failure during normal use for as long as you own your boat.

Installation Notes: Designed for fiberglass boats and select aluminum boats. Must be installed on the bare hull surface — not over anti-fouling paint, vinyl wraps, or strakes. Install the KeelGuard 4–6 inches above the resting waterline. Not recommended for trailers where the full boat weight rests on keel rollers, kayaks, canoes, or most personal watercraft (PWC).
