KeelShield KS6RED Boat Keel Guard 6 ft Red - 5 in Wide Urethane Keel Protector

The KeelShield KS6RED is a 6-foot, red urethane keel guard designed to protect your boat's most vulnerable contact point from the damage caused by concrete ramps, rocky shores, sandbars, docks, and other underwater hazards. The keel is the centerline of your hull and the first thing to take a hit during launching, beaching, and trailering — this shield stops that punishment before it starts.

Key Features:

• Pure Urethane Polymer construction with UV inhibitors — not a PVC blend or PVC-based Polycore — for superior abrasion resistance and long-term durability
• Patented grooved design tested best by an independent lab for adhesion and abrasion resistance; also adds directional stability and improves water flow to the impeller on jet-driven watercraft
• 5 inches wide for broad keel coverage across a wide range of hull profiles
• Exclusive 3M Marine adhesive system — the strongest and thickest available — creates a permanent, reliable bond with no curing time required
• DIY Prep-Peel-Stick installation: clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol, peel the backing, and press into place — you can use your boat immediately after installation
• Compatible with fiberglass, most aluminum, and treated wood hulls
• Helps prevent costly gelcoat and fiberglass repairs from scratches, scars, and abrasions
• Made in the USA and backed by a Lifetime Limited Warranty to the original purchaser

The KS6RED is available in red and measures 6 feet in length, making it suitable for a wide range of bass boats, ski boats, runabouts, fishing boats, jon boats, skiffs, and more. Note: Not compatible with pontoon boats, catamarans, boats with weight-bearing trailer rollers or bunks that contact the shield, or personal watercraft with steps, strakes, or chines in the installation area. Check the Gator Guards compatibility list before purchase.
