Keel Protector

[MSURoss]

What's everyone's opinion on the best keel guard? Thinking about buying one so I can beach my boat. Looks like there is a few brands. Also any tips on installation? Thanks!

Had a hambys installed on my boat and it worked great. Very think and protective. I didn't install it but I've heard it isn't difficult.

Wow! I just installed mine this past Sunday. Only took me about an hour or so. And most of that was just using a 3M pad to scour the surface that it was going to adhese to. I bought the Megaware KeelGuard. Ordered a 7foot'er for my 21 ft boat. It was simple installation. Ran me I think $140.00 but it will depend on the length you want. Im happy with the toughness of it, but only time will tell. But for installation purposes, I think they are all similar. (CLEAN - SCOUR - CLEAN W/ALCOHOL - RUB ON THE PRIMER - INSTALL/PRESS ON THE KEELGUARD)

I have a Hamby's keel guard on my 2012 Skeeter FX20.  Came installed on the boat.  Works great.

I've heard they are a pain to install. But their asking an arm and leg to do it. I think ill take my chances. I've always heard hamby's is the way to go.

Thanks for the feedback! I think I may go with keel shield or keel guard due to the price and good reviews.
