I like the video and was glad to see a guard below the water line. Where I boat there is no need to have it all the way up to the waterline at the Bow.
My keel already has damage from being beaches over and over. The gelcoat ihas been scrapped off. No dings. Just scratched. My question is can this be applied or should I apply gelcoat first? My concern is that if I apply a layer of gelcoat, the keel guard may eventually peel off that new layer.
Properly preparing the hull of the boat especially around the welded areas is key for this kind of installation. This KeelGuard was installed a year ago and still looks as good as day one. Thanks for your comment.
I have a 20’ Triton TR20 and as you know the keel goes flat about 6’ back so not sure how well it is going to adhere from V-shape to flat. They are recommending a 7’ keel guard but I’m thinking 6’?? Thanks
There shouldn't be a problem with the transition area. I wouldn't go shorter than the recommended length. Going shorter may cause issues with the bottom leading edge getting snagged and tearing, especially if you plan on beaching. Call us if you have more questions. Thanks for your comment.
