KeelShield KS8WHT-DP 8 ft Boat Keel Guard Protector White 5-Inch Wide Self-Adhesive

The KeelShield KS8WHT-DP is an 8-foot, 5-inch wide white keel guard designed to protect the most vulnerable part of your boat's hull. The keel runs along the centerline of the hull and is the first point of contact with concrete launch ramps, rocky shorelines, docks, sandbars, and other underwater hazards. KeelShield provides strong, durable protection to prevent costly gelcoat and fiberglass repairs and keep your boat looking its best.

Key Features:

• Measures 8 feet long x 5 inches wide — recommended for boats 19–21 feet in length
• Constructed from pure urethane polymers with UV inhibitors — not PVC or PVC-based materials
• Features a patented grooved design that has been independently tested for superior adhesion and abrasion resistance
• Includes a pre-creased centerline for easy bending and fitting to the hull
• Installs with an exclusive 3M Marine adhesive system — the strongest and thickest available
• No cure time required — use your boat immediately after installation
• Compatible with fiberglass, most aluminum, and treated wood hulls
• Enhances directional stability and improves water flow to the impeller on jet-driven watercraft
• 100% Made in the USA
• Backed by a lifetime guarantee to the original owner

Installation is simple with the Prep-Peel-Stick method. Clean the hull surface with isopropyl alcohol, peel the backing, and press the shield firmly into place — no special tools required. The KeelShield KS8WHT-DP is available in white to blend with or complement your hull color.
