Megaware KeelGuard ScuffBuster XL Solid 22G Stainless Steel

Boat protection for trailer rollers

The Megaware ScuffBuster XL is a solid stainless-steel guard that shields a boat’s gelcoat from marks caused by trailer rollers during loading and transport. It is designed for owners who want a durable, corrosion-resistant layer on the hull contact points. The guard uses 3M pressure-sensitive adhesive for a secure bond without drilling. Its mirror-polished finish also preserves the boat’s appearance.

Sustained exposure to water and friction

Made from 22-gauge 304 stainless steel, the guard resists corrosion during long periods on the water and repeated contact with rollers. The material maintains its shape and protective function under continuous load rather than only brief impacts. The solid construction avoids flex that could reduce coverage over time. Adhesive strength is engineered to hold through vibration, temperature swings and immersion.

22-gauge 304 stainless steel construction

The gauge and alloy determine whether the guard can withstand the specific abrasion and marine environment of your trailer setup. Thinner or lower-grade metal would wear through or rust, while heavier gauges may not conform to the hull curve. Buyers needing a different gauge, a perforated pattern or a non-metallic protector should look elsewhere. The 8.75-inch width covers the roller contact patch on many common hulls.
