Megaware KeelGuard Protector

The Megaware KeelGuard Protector is the original do-it-yourself boat keel protector (also called a keel guard). It shields your hull's keel from abrasion caused by beaching, sandy shorelines, rocks, concrete ramps, and oyster beds. Protecting the gelcoat helps keep water from reaching the fiberglass laminate underneath, which helps you avoid costly repairs.

Key Features:

• Abrasion-resistant construction: a blend of polymers and urethanes gives a tough, shock-absorbing, pliable protector that conforms to the keel.
• 3M pressure-sensitive adhesive: bonds permanently to the hull for a secure, long-lasting installation.
• Self-sealing contoured edge: forms a tight seal against the hull, so no messy sealants are needed.
• Hydrodynamic drag-reduction design: angled grooves create channels and air pockets for a slicker surface.
• UV-stabilized colors: designed to keep their color outdoors.
• Patented design: developed with boat designers and 3M engineers.
• Made in the USA

Installation is a straightforward DIY job. Follow the manufacturer's surface preparation and priming instructions closely to get the full strength of the adhesive bond. A bow guard is a separate product for protecting the area above the bow eye. The KeelGuard may not suit trailers that carry the boat's full weight on keel rollers, or some aluminum boats with reinforcing ribs.
