Severe keel damage is a common boating nightmare. Rocks, ramps, sand, coral and debris in the water can all take a toll on your boat or personal watercraft. The KeelGuard is an easy-to-install keel protector that is tough enough to take the abuse so your boat won't have to. Developed by a boat designer who spent years investigating the best protective materials, this unique guard adheres along the keel using extremely strong 3M pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive - the same adhesive used by NASA on the space shuttle. Independent radar speed tests have demonstrated smaller boats and personal watercraft protected with KeelGuard consistently achieves higher top-end speed. The patent hydrodynamic channel ribbing enhances handling and improves tracking. The 5-foot KeelGuard fits boat lengths of 15'-16' and PWC's.
Colors: Black, Charcoal, Gray, Light Gray, White, Almond.

KeelGuard,March 10, 2009
By Psreenanfrom FortLauderdale Fl
"I have 2 Flats boats and have one for each boat They are great. I fish the flats, so ending up on oyster bars and rocks and sand, these guards save me. We run at high speeds as well and have had no peeling or coming off. Most important part is the prep and scuffing the bottom so you get good contact and holding power."

NOT VERY GOOD,October 3, 2008
By bales55from St thomas Canada
"Due to my work I have not had the opportunity to contact Cabelas, but I will. I have 16 foot Springbock fishing/duck boat and I thought this product would be the cat's meow, it's not! My brother and I applied as per the video and instructions and I now have 5 separate spots where the guard has pulled away from the boat. Would not buy this product. I have no complainants about the products price as long as it works but it's not working. Hopefully Cabelas will lead me down the right road."

Extreme Service,January 7, 2008
By schneiderfrom San Francisco Bay
"I work at a marina and have a 13 ft Boston Whaler that I use to push boats around, move docks, pilings, Concrete barges, whatever. Sometimes in severe weather. Sometimes have to slam things pretty hard to get control in heavy wind. I was chipping the fiberglass pretty bad. My boss recommended this product as he was happy having it on his personal pleasure boat. This stuff will not come off, even living in salt water 24/7, and getting slammed around. 3 years so far. I wish I'd gotten it years ago. It's really good."

"An excellent product! Really tough protection for the front of your boat. 3M glue on the product is outstanding. Follow the directions and you have all the protection you need for beaching on a concrete ramp."

Keelguard,June 5, 2007
By FisherofMenfrom Dothan, AL
"The product was fairly easy to install and the instructional DVD was excellent. There is a lot of value for the money for those of use who fish in less than perfect water from time to time. Though time will tell how the product will do over many more trips, it has held up well so far and looks like it will do the trick."

Saving my boats,May 21, 2007
By Steveonthebeachfrom Gulf Shores, Alabama
"It takes some time and prep to apply this product but it is worth it. Once you put it on you can't take it off and reposition it so take your time and do it right the first time. This stuff is tough and stays on. We hit the beach for swimming and walking on the sand about every week. The first thing to hit the hard stuff is the KeelGuard. The cost is not an issue when you have $22,000 invested in one boat and $45,000 in another, both with KeelGuard up front."
