Review on 🛡️ Gator Guards KeelShield Keel Guard - Protects Against Damage, Scars, and Scratches - Easy DIY Installation - Suitable for Fiberglass and Many Aluminum Boats - Made in The USA - Available in 4’ to 12’ Lengths by Rodney Mendoza

This is a great product to protect your boat's V-hull. Proper preparation (reading instructions) is key to good adhesion. To align the keel shield (starting from the front and lying on my back just below the V-hull) I gradually peeled off just the middle row of 3m of tape and visually aligned the center of my hull to the center. edge of the keel shield. Apply strong pressure to the end, then I moved to one side at a time. I can't stress enough how much pressure you need to apply. After all this, with the help of painters, I sealed and applied a line along the outside edge of the keel shield and applied 3M 5200 for a continuous seal along the entire seam. The photos show how beautiful the edges turned out when glued well. It's work, but it's worth it. My boat is moving at about 60 miles an hour and it's still there and I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon.
