Good looking. I recommend sticking some kind of tape.

Beautiful appearance. It is recommended to put some tape on the bow while trying to attach it to your boat before final assembly. Otherwise you scratch the paint. I wish I knew that sooner.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Volume

Looks good and works as intended

It has been on the boat for about 10 months now. No problem. I bent and glued it myself. I used some zip ties and latches to ensure pressure was applied to the surface while the glue dried. Looks good and works as intended.

  • Best
Cons
  • Minor

Fairly easy to apply with simple instructions

Fairly easy to apply with simple instructions. Bends easily to correct the angle on the bow. Looks very good on the boat. I'll have to wait a few months before I see how well the glue holds up. Update: After months and many runs and downloads, the glue is as strong as new. 100% satisfied with this product.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Socket required

A good product. Poor description

Good product just small, when they say small they mean it's too small for a 19ft Triton bass boat with a long thin nose. There aren't many descriptions of how big the area is. I personally thought when I bought this the size was based on the size of your boat, big boat or small boat. So if you have a bass boat, get the biggest one you can get. Because it's no more than half the size of my trailer scooter, it doesn't do much to keep my boat from scratching while loading. But it's a seam that…

Works as intended with a little help.

Works as intended but a bit tricky to install. Even though a lot of effort was put into fitting the bow to the curvature of the bow, there were still some gaps that caused problems later on. Fitted as advertised but when the sheet was lowered back onto the roller the panel warped resulting in a gap in one corner. The tape and clips weren't strong enough to overcome this or show the problem area. It wouldn't have been a real problem if I had more glue, but the pouch that came with it was…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Update available

Came out as advertised and wasn't very difficult to make

As they say use lots of tape to protect the area as long as you shape it properly until it fits perfectly as I was ready made I perfect outlines like this, being careful not to splatter the glue all over the outline, and color it around the edges with boat glue. I took my front roller off and made a wood and foam jig to put pressure on it and let it dry for a few days and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere now, will be trying it out on the water soon. I only had a few minor scratches from the

Pros
  • Hands free
Cons
  • Unusable features

Great Eye Candy Poor Overall

Revain was a big help in getting this product for me. Put it on my 31' nose. For the first time on the trip, I noticed a barely attached protective cover in the truck's rear-view mirror. Never seen water before product liability was broken. I am a trained engineer and work a lot with adhesives and metals. I personally repair and service gelcoat/fiberglass hulls. I use resins and mixed epoxy resins. Had to give a total fail. The product looks shiny and well tailored in design hence the two…

  • Quality Construction
Cons
