Apply KeelGuard to cover previous owner scars and add a tough vinyl protection to the bow. Note: KeelGuard can be run the length of the keel to protect against beaching the boat. To do so, bottom paint must be removed in are to be covered. Since I do not plan to beach, I am using to cosmetically improve appearance and add a good bumper for docking. Viewed: 1721 times.

KeelGuard comes in a rainbow of colors. They sent me color samples at no charge to get the right match. As you can see in this completed photo, the KeelGuard matches so well it is almost invisible from a distance. It certainly looks better than the dock rash it covers and should keep the bow looking fresh. Viewed: 2101 times.
