Keel Guard 20208 KeelGuard 8ft Black DIY Boat Keel Protector

The Megaware KeelGuard 20208 is the original do-it-yourself boat keel protector, engineered to defend your hull against the everyday hazards of boating — abrasive sand, rocks, concrete ramps, and oyster beds. Constructed with a precision blend of abrasion-resistant polymers and urethanes, the KeelGuard absorbs impacts and prevents scratches, gouges, and structural wear on the leading edge of your hull, safeguarding the gelcoat finish and the fiberglass laminates beneath it.

Co-developed with boat designers and 3M engineers, every element of the patented KeelGuard design contributes to its performance. The exclusive self-sealing contoured edges permanently bond to the hull surface without messy sealants, while angled hydrodynamic grooves create air pockets that reduce drag so your boat's speed and performance are never compromised. UV inhibitors and anti-fungal agents are built into the material to ensure lasting color and durability in harsh marine environments. This 8-foot model is available in black and is 5 inches wide.

Key Features:

• Abrasion-resistant polymer and urethane composite — precision blend delivers optimal durability and pliability
• Exclusive self-sealing contoured edge — bonds cleanly to hull curves with no sealants required
• Hydrodynamic drag-reduction design — angled grooves create air pockets for a slicker surface without affecting boat performance
• 3M pressure-sensitive adhesive — provides maximum bonding strength to the hull
• UV-stabilized color — black finish resists fading for the life of the product
• Made in the USA — from a small, family-owned and operated business
• Lifetime warranty — covers abrasive wear and adhesion failure for as long as you own the boat

What's Included:

• KeelGuard strip with pre-applied 3M adhesive
• 3M primer wipe
• Scotch-Brite etching pad
• Burnishing tool
• Step-by-step installation instructions

Installation is a straightforward DIY process that typically takes about an hour — no special tools required. Note: isopropyl alcohol for surface cleaning is not included. The KeelGuard 20208 is compatible with fiberglass boats and select aluminum boats.
