Keelshield Boat Gator Guards, Keel Guards, Step Pads

Hitting a boat ramp or sliding over a rock is a matter of when rather than if. It’s better to avoid scuffs and abrasions on your hull’s gelcoat than deal with expensive repairs. The KeelShield keel protector by Gator Guards is designed to prevent rocky bottoms, concrete ramps, and other obstacles from scraping your hull. It will help you keep your boat in top shape and retain its resale value when it comes time to part with your vessel, or cover up existing cosmetic damage.

KeelShield keel guards are 5in.-wide urethane polymer stripes that stick to the hull surface. They are offered in different length options and are compatible with fiberglass and most aluminum boats. Various colors are available to choose from, so you can color-match the product to your vessel or add contrast. All KeelShields have a 3M adhesive layer and won’t come off even in tough conditions, provided the surface is carefully prepped. These products are made in the U.S. and backed by a lifetime warranty. No matter what shorelines you’re anchoring at, you can do it with confidence knowing that your hull’s bottom is protected by Gator Guards’ KeelShield.
