You go to the beach. And even if you don't think you'll fall, you'll bump into something in the water. Bottom line, I thought I never had a problem because I didn't land. Well - whoops. I had several "problems". Anyway I added this to my 2020 Sea Doo GTX. I really wish I had done that on day one. So the next new boat will be ordered and installed before it even sees the water. The 3-stripes backing and installation make it very easy. Heat it up in the sun first - even the chin will get moldy…

I am very impressed and happy with my purchase. I did so much research trying to figure out what to get but this helped. Not many steps, just take your time step by step and you shouldn't have any problems. I catch a lot of catfish on the Arkansas River and they don't have boat slips so you have to pull your boat up the ramp and it scratched my hull and that was enough for me. This works great, as it should. Just grab some marine glue and you're good to go.

YouTube for installation and tips. It really helped me, I was afraid to screw it up. Once you start it's very easy and I did it myself. My best advice is to grab the activator with one hand and wipe it off quickly. It was 75* and the activator started to stick and dry quickly! So act fast. Finally, make sure to remove less of the red stripe on your boat's cheekbones so it doesn't accidentally stick to the hull. Roll your fist up and down and it fits perfectly. Finish it off with a protective…

Great protection for my boat. Part of the keel of my boat was worn away by the trailer axle. Fixed the keel and adjusted this protector for my easy landings. It probably won't withstand the axle of my trailer, so I start and come back lower with the trailer to allow my boat to float more during the process. I had the keel protector professionally installed because it was the safer option to set 9ft straight with permanent adhesive while lying on my back trying not to mess up or injure myself. I

This product does not compare to the high quality boat protections sold by boat dealers and repair shops. That. Peel and stick is a joke. You must use real marine epoxy. This product suggests that you use 3M 5200 Epoxy (sold separately) to seal the outside edge. If used properly, this keel protector does not require additional edge sealing. Additionally. Better quality keel protectors are much thicker and wider and look better. Good luck to those who purchase this product. You will need it.

Definitely not "easy install". Be prepared to grab some elbow grease. The sticks are very strong (3M duh 🙄) That being said I bought an 8' and it came with 3 foam super small activator pads so they deteriorated very quickly - this suggests you quickly wipe the area with the activator -Pad - MAYBE I was able to apply the activator to 1/2 of the surface that needed it 🤷‍♂️ I hope the activator is mainly for those who don't prepare their surface well. Overall it looks great 👍 and I don't have…

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…
