Boat Keel Protector - Protect your boat keel from sand, rocks, oyster beds, concrete ramps, and everyday wear and tear on the water with The Original Do-It-Yourself Keel Guard from Megaware. This patented product is compatible with fiberglass and some aluminum boats.

Easy to Install - Featuring an exclusive self-sealing contoured edge that creates a clean, tight seal, the boat protector requires no messy sealants. Installation is a breeze in 4 simple steps: etch, clean, prime, and apply.

Superior Engineering - Produced using the highest quality materials and 3M premium adhesives, this patented hydrodynamic drag reduction design is pliable, tough, and easily conforms to your boat's keel. The 5-inch wide boat keel protection is shock-absorbing, with an exclusive contoured edge design and drag reduction channels that won't slow your boat down.

9 Standard Length Kits - Megaware's boat keel guard comes in 9 different sizes, ranging from 4 to 12 feet long, to ensure you have the correct size for your vessel. The shields are available in 12 colors that will not fade or dull, enhancing the look of your boat. Note: if the size of your boat falls between 2 sizes, order a size up for additional keel protection.

Lifetime Warranty - The Megaware KeelGuard is so tough and reliable that it comes with a lifetime warranty during normal use of your boat, for as long as you own it.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I Install a KeelGuard on a Kayak or Canoe? No, as most kayaks and canoes are made of low-surface energy plastics, the 3M adhesive does not bond to these materials.

Can I Install a KeelGuard on a Jet Ski, Ski-Doo, Wave Runner, or Other Personal Watercraft (PWC)? No, the KeelGuard is not compatible with modern hull designs and must be installed 4-6 inches above the resting water line.

Can I Install a KeelGuard on a Catamaran? The KeelGuard is not compatible with most Catamarans due to their very sharp keels with a steep 90° upturn. Please contact Megaware directly if you have questions about your Catamaran.

Can I Install a KeelGuard on an Aluminum Boat? The KeelGuard can be installed on some aluminum boats, but if the boat has a raised or reinforced center keel, it cannot be raised higher than 1/4 inch. The center keel cannot have any reinforced welding around the edge, rivets, or sharp angles. Contact Megaware if you have compatibility questions. Not compatible with Lund, Alumacraft, Smoker Craft, Crestliner, or Tracker.

Can I Install the KeelGuard on a Pontoon Boat? No, the KeelGuard cannot be installed on the bottom of pontoon tubes. For the side of pontoon tubes, we recommend the Pontoon Guard.

Can I Apply the KeelGuard Over Strakes or Chines? Yes, the KeelGuard can be applied over slightly raised strakes and chines, but sealant must be applied over these areas to seal off gaps and prevent water from getting under the adhesive.

Can I Apply the KeelGuard Over a Vinyl Wrap? No, the KeelGuard is not recommended to install over boat wrap. It must be installed on the actual surface of the boat, as it will pull the wrap off.

Can I Apply the Megaware KeelGuard Over Boat Bottom Paint or Anti-Fouling Paint? Anti-fouling or boat bottom paint must be removed prior to installing the KeelGuard. You can apply boat bottom or anti-fouling paint over the KeelGuard once it has been installed.

Why Do I Have to Install the KeelGuard 4-6 inches ABOVE the Resting Water Line if I'm Only Using it for Beaching? When your boat reaches planing speed, the water pressure can cause the KeelGuard to peel off the hull. To avoid this, apply it 4-6 inches above the water line.

Can I Install a KeelGuard Below the Water Line? No, do not install the KeelGuard below the water line, as water pressure against the leading edge when bringing your boat up to plane can cause it to peel off.
