The keel runs along the centerline of your hull and is the first point of contact with concrete ramps, rocks, docks, and beaches — making it one of the most damage-prone areas on any boat. The KeelShield keel protector absorbs that impact before it reaches your hull, helping to prevent costly gelcoat and fiberglass repairs. The red colorway allows for easy matching or high-visibility contrast on your vessel.
Note: Not compatible with pontoon boats, catamarans, boats with weight-bearing trailer rollers or bunks that contact the keel shield during launch/load, jet docks, or personal watercraft with steps, strakes, or chines in the installation area. Please verify compatibility before purchase.
