Megaware KeelGuard® - 6' - Hunter Green

The Megaware KeelGuard® - 6' - Hunter Green is the original do-it-yourself keel protector engineered to shield your boat's investment against the constant wear and damage caused by sand, rocks, launching ramps, and shallow-water contacts. After decades on the water, any angler or boater knows that keel damage starts small—a scrape here, a grinding contact there—but quickly compounds into serious structural and cosmetic problems. This protective guard sits where damage happens most, preserving your gelcoat finish and preventing water intrusion into the fiberglass substrate below.

Constructed from durable, flexible marine-grade material, the Megaware KeelGuard® conforms to your boat's keel profile while remaining tough enough to absorb impact from rocks and concrete ramp edges without transferring shock to the hull itself. The 6-foot length covers the most vulnerable section of the keel where running aground or sand contact is most likely to occur. Its hunter green color blends seamlessly with most boat finishes while the self-adhesive backing makes installation straightforward—no drilling, epoxy, or specialized tools required. The material is UV-resistant and salt-water tolerant, designed to maintain integrity through years of coastal and freshwater use.

This keel guard is ideal for anglers and recreational boaters who regularly launch on public ramps, operate in shallow water, or navigate rocky coastlines where hull contact is a real risk. Whether you're running a center-console, bay boat, or offshore vessel, protecting the keel before damage occurs is far more cost-effective than repairing fiberglass deterioration and water damage later. Installation takes minutes—clean and dry the keel surface, cut to length if needed, and press firmly in place. The Megaware KeelGuard® works on most monohull boats and is a standard maintenance upgrade recommended by experienced mariners.
