Comments: If you own a boat, you know how expensive it is not only to buy one, but to maintain it also. The KeelShield is a must have to keep the keel of your boat looking new. I have a bass boat and I launch my boat at a lot of places that don't have great launching facilities, including a dock to tie off to. The KeelShield allows me to beach my boat with no worries of scratching, chipping, or damaging my hull! It's a great product that is easy to install on your own. Highly recommended!

Comments: Best keel protection on the market. Easy to install, stays on your boat. I'm a shallow water type angler. I've put the keel shield through some tough things, from rubbing rocks to stumps and it handles it great. Has not torn or ripped. Would highly recommend this and some of their other products. Awesome company

Comments: Had installed one on my last boat, 2001 Ranger 520DVX. It couldnt have been easier or more effective! I routinely beached my boat on sand and even concrete ramps when launching (PowerPoles down of course). Made launch and retrieve alone so much faster! Still talk to the new owner of the boat and he is as equally impressed by its durabilty. 11 years and going strong! Thanks GatorGuard!

Comments: KeelShield is the absolute best DIY keel protector on the global market today. The color choices are second to none, and the Kevlar product adds the additional strength you can imagine with it being Kevlar. This is cheap insurance compared to fiberglass repair cost!

Comments: Happy I own this product. It was easy to install and has already protected my boat from damage the first week of use. Wish I would have purchased it sooner.

Comments: We've had a Keel Shield on each one of our boats over the years - nothing protects your boat better on the rocky and concrete boat launches we have here in Washington state. Really easy to apply, my 12 year old Son has even installed one himself.

Comments: Had one on my guide boat for 12 years. Looked new when I sold the boat. Cheap insurance for your keel. Great product.
