Original DIY Keel Protector

Megaware KeelGuard is a self-adhesive strip that shields a boat’s keel from abrasion caused by sand, rocks and ramp launches. It preserves the gelcoat so water cannot reach the underlying fiberglass laminates. The product is sold new and ready for owner installation.

Polymer-urethane blend

The protector uses a patented mix of polymers and urethanes developed with 3M engineers for durability and flexibility. A pressure-sensitive adhesive permanently bonds and seals the contoured edges to the hull. Angled grooves create hydrodynamic channels that trap air and give a slicker running surface.

Eleven colours available to match your hull

Buyers should confirm the 5-foot length suits their keel dimensions before ordering. The surface must be clean, dry and structurally sound for the adhesive to achieve a permanent bond. This protector is not for owners who prefer professional installation or need a different length.

Questions about this item

What adhesive system bonds the KeelGuard protector to the hull?

A pressure-sensitive adhesive permanently bonds and seals the contoured edges of the KeelGuard to the hull surface.

What surface preparation does the KeelGuard installation require for the adhesive to bond?

The hull must be clean, dry and free of wax or contaminants so the pressure-sensitive adhesive can achieve a permanent bond.

Which step do installers most often skip when fitting the KeelGuard protector?

Thoroughly cleaning and de-waxing the hull before application is the step most often missed, causing the adhesive to fail.
