The Megaware KeelGuard (MPN: 20104) is the original, patented do-it-yourself keel protector, engineered to defend your boat's hull from the damaging effects of rocks, concrete ramps, abrasive sand, and oyster beds. Without protection, keel wear can break down the gelcoat finish and allow water to penetrate and destroy fiberglass laminates — the KeelGuard stops that damage before it starts.
Co-developed with boat designers and 3M engineers, every detail of the KeelGuard has been purpose-built for durability, performance, and ease of installation. This 4-foot white version is suited for smaller boats and targeted keel protection areas.
Key Features:
- Ultra-tough polymer and urethane composite — abrasion-resistant blend delivers optimal durability and pliability
- Exclusive self-sealing contoured edge — permanently bonds to the hull surface with no messy sealants required
- Premium 3M pressure-sensitive adhesive — creates a maximum-strength bond directly to the hull
- Hydrodynamic drag reduction design — angled grooves create air pockets for a slicker, lower-drag surface profile
- UV inhibitors and anti-fungal agents — UV-stabilized for lasting color and long-term resistance to marine environments
- Made in the USA — manufactured domestically for consistent quality
- Lifetime hassle-free warranty — guaranteed against abrasive wear and adhesion failure for as long as you own the boat
What's Included: KeelGuard strip, 3M primer and adhesive, etching pad, burnishing tool, and installation instructions. No special tools required — installs in an hour or less.
Note: Suggested lengths represent the minimum recommended length based on boat size; longer lengths can be ordered for additional coverage.
