Review: Easy Install and Effective! - Install was a breeze on our Yamaha. Sanded, prepped and it has stuck solid for years. We beach about every trip in rocky Utah reservoirs due to the cold water, kids and other passengers, preferring not to anchor out. Writing this review after ~5 years of use because we finally hit some really bad rocks and this did its job. Had we not had this, 100% sure we have a hole in our boat. We were able to patch/seal the damaged section with marine 5200 and still kicking. We’ll see how much more use we can get, but will definitely purchase again when the time comes. Life saver.
Review: Great Product - This works wonders I installed this on a 14ft Jenson boat which I had fabricated to be stick steering because of my back injury I have to sit on the front of the boat and swing my legs over into the boat and do the exact same thing to get out this Keelguard really helped tremendously because without it I was wearing a hole in the bottom of my boat which would make for more problems instead of using alcohol to clean the keel I used brake cleaner and it got it VERY CLEAN and the glue stuck perfectly so just follow the instructions or look up a YOUTUBE vide on the subject and use whatever is safe for your boat I used the brake cleaner because my boat doesn't have a gel coating just fiberglass so before I would use the cleaner I would probably test it on an non visible area before installation to see if it damages your paint

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy application, works perfect, you can do this at home in 15 minutes....
*by K***Y on July 8, 2016*

I just bought a 18' Nitro Z7. The boat didn't come with a keel protector and I could notice the wear on the keel. I read a ton of reviews and watched a youtube about this product and decided to give it a try and put it on myself. I purchased the 6 foot bc I felt the 7 foot would be overkill. If you have a 18 foot boat, 6 foot is all that you need. I opened the pack, read the instructions and put it on myself in my garage. I live in Louisiana where it's 100 degrees outside right now and let the shield sit in the sun for 15 minutes to be easier to work with. It literally took my 15 minutes to put this on by myself and it works perfect. The instructions tell you to draw an outline of the shield and/or mask off the area you are working with. I didn't go through all of that bc I'm impatient and it really was a waste of time IMO. If you're a perfectionist, go for it. Just takes more time. As far as the application, I just marked the middle (7th) rise with a white crayon so I could use it as a guide going down the keel for a centerline. I layed flat on my back under the boat with the keel of the boat centered above me where I was applying. I placed the shield down the center of my body, placed it where I wanted it to start at the top and worked it all the way down like the instructions said. Very easy. I'm just your average Joe who has never done this before and it couldn't have been easier. I'm happy with it so far, let's hope it stays on!
