The Megaware KeelGuard 20406 is the original do-it-yourself keel protector, engineered to defend your boat's hull against damage from abrasive sand, rocks, concrete ramps, and oyster beds. Wear and impact to the keel can break down a boat's protective gelcoat finish, allowing water to penetrate and destroy the fiberglass laminates beneath — the KeelGuard stops that damage before it starts.
Developed in collaboration with boat designers and 3M® engineers, every aspect of the KeelGuard is purpose-built for durability, performance, and ease of installation.
Key Features:
- Abrasion-Resistant Construction: Precision blend of polymers and urethanes delivers optimal durability and pliability
- 3M® Acrylic Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive: Creates a powerful, permanent bond that seals the KeelGuard's contoured edges directly to the hull surface
- Hydrodynamic Design: Angled grooves create drag-reduction channels and air pockets for a slicker surface — no loss in boat speed or performance
- Contoured Edges: Self-sealing profile forms to your hull for a tight, seamless fit without messy sealants
- 5-Inch Width: Fits boats up to 18 feet in length
- UV-Stabilized Color: Sand color is UV-stabilized for long-lasting, fade-resistant appearance
- Made in the USA: American-made by a small, family-owned and operated business
- Complete Install Kit Included: Comes with 3M primer and adhesive, etching pad, burnishing tool, and installation instructions — no special tools required
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.
The Megaware KeelGuard is compatible with most fiberglass boats and select aluminum boats. It is not recommended for use over vinyl wraps, anti-fouling paint, or on pontoon tubes, kayaks, canoes, or most catamarans. The KeelGuard should be installed 4–6 inches above the resting waterline.
