Megaware KeelGuard - 8 - Charcoal

Protect your boat’s keel with the KeelGuard® 8' Charcoal, the original DIY 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 pristine condition, extending its lifespan and maintaining its value.

Superior Keel Protection

KeelGuard® is a powerful abrasion-resistant protector that defends your boat’s keel from wear and damage. By preventing the breakdown of the protective gelcoat finish, KeelGuard® stops water from reaching and destroying the fiberglass laminates. This robust protection significantly prolongs the life of your boat, offering unmatched reliability in marine environments.

Advanced Engineering by Megaware and 3M®

Every KeelGuard® is meticulously designed with input from boat designers and 3M® engineers. The blend of high-quality polymers and urethanes provides optimal durability and flexibility. The pressure-sensitive 3M® acrylic adhesive ensures a strong, permanent bond, sealing the contoured edges to the hull for maximum protection. Additionally, the angled grooves create hydrodynamic channels that generate air pockets, resulting in a slicker surface and enhanced performance.
