Megaware KeelGuard - 8 - Black

Protect your boat's keel with the KeelGuard® - 8' - Black, the original do-it-yourself keel protector designed to safeguard your investment against sand, rocks, and ramps. Engineered for durability and ease of installation, KeelGuard® ensures your boat remains in top condition, extending its lifespan and maintaining its value.

Unmatched Keel Protection

Exposure to abrasive elements like sand, rocks, and concrete ramps can severely damage your boat's keel, compromising the gelcoat finish and allowing water to penetrate and deteriorate the fiberglass laminates. KeelGuard® by Megaware is a robust, abrasion-resistant protector that effectively shields your keel from these hazards, ensuring your boat remains protected in even the harshest marine environments.

Advanced Engineering by Megaware and 3M®

The patented Megaware KeelGuard® is a result of meticulous collaboration between boat designers and 3M® engineers. This advanced engineering ensures optimal durability and flexibility through a precise blend of polymers and urethanes. The pressure-sensitive 3M® acrylic adhesive guarantees a strong, permanent bond, sealing the contoured edges of KeelGuard® to your hull for maximum protection.

Key engineering features include:

• Durable Materials: A blend of abrasion-resistant polymers and urethanes for long-lasting protection.
• Strong Adhesive: 3M® acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive ensures a permanent bond.
• Hydrodynamic Design: Angled grooves create air pockets, reducing drag and enhancing performance.
• Easy Installation: Flexible and pliable design allows for straightforward application without specialized tools.

Customization: Colors and Sizes
