## Description

Defend your boat's keel against damage from ramps, rocks, docks, and shoreline hazards with the Gator Guards KeelShield Keel Guard. The keel is the first part of your boat to make contact during launching, beaching, or trailering. Without protection, it can suffer from deep scratches, gouges, and wear over time. KeelShield helps prevent these issues before they start. This 9 foot KeelShield in Black is made from rugged Urethane Polymers and measures 5 inches wide to provide extended coverage for larger boats. Its marine-grade construction ensures long-lasting performance, while the 3M adhesive system creates a permanent, reliable bond. Installation is simple — just Prep, Peel, and Stick with no curing time required. Compatible with most fiberglass and aluminum boats, KeelShield is available in multiple sizes and colors to match your vessel. Whether you're trailering or heading to shore, this protective strip helps preserve your boat’s appearance and performance. Proudly made in the USA and backed by the Gator Guard Guarantee, KeelShield delivers peace of mind and unmatched protection for boaters who demand the best.

Review: A great piece of protection for your boat. - The keel guard was fairly easy to apply and was a perfect fit to my Triton TRX179. It looks great. The keel guard adhered very well the boat and shows no signs of compromise. I’m happy with my decision to buy this product.
Review: Great Product - This works wonders I installed this on a 14ft Jenson boat which I had fabricated to be stick steering because of my back injury I have to sit on the front of the boat and swing my legs over into the boat and do the exact same thing to get out this Keelguard really helped tremendously because without it I was wearing a hole in the bottom of my boat which would make for more problems instead of using alcohol to clean the keel I used brake cleaner and it got it VERY CLEAN and the glue stuck perfectly so just follow the instructions or look up a YOUTUBE vide on the subject and use whatever is safe for your boat I used the brake cleaner because my boat doesn't have a gel coating just fiberglass so before I would use the cleaner I would probably test it on an non visible area before installation to see if it damages your paint

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy Install and Effective!
*by K***L on May 5, 2024*

Install was a breeze on our Yamaha. Sanded, prepped and it has stuck solid for years. We beach about every trip in rocky Utah reservoirs due to the cold water, kids and other passengers, preferring not to anchor out. Writing this review after ~5 years of use because we finally hit some really bad rocks and this did its job. Had we not had this, 100% sure we have a hole in our boat. We were able to patch/seal the damaged section with marine 5200 and still kicking. We’ll see how much more use we can get, but will definitely purchase again when the time comes. Life saver.
