Engineered for durability and ease of installation, KeelGuard® ensures your boat remains in pristine condition, extending its lifespan and maintaining its value.

Engineering Excellence

KeelGuard® is the result of meticulous design collaboration between boat designers and 3M® engineers. This advanced protection system utilizes a precise blend of abrasion-resistant polymers and urethanes, delivering unparalleled durability and flexibility. The pressure-sensitive 3M® acrylic adhesive ensures a strong, permanent bond, while the contoured edges seamlessly seal to the hull surface. Additionally, angled grooves create hydrodynamic channels that reduce drag and enhance performance.
