Many marine dealers or fiberglass companies can install the Megaware KeelGuard for you or you can do it yourself.

The Megaware KeelGuard is a composite comprised of a blend of polymers and urethanes with special plasticizers and UV inhibitors to provide the very best blending of abrasion resistance and bonding qualities.

In the unlikely event you need to remove a Megaware KeelGuard, it can be done. The 3M® adhesive is designed to shear apart if enough strength and energy is exerted. Some of the adhesive will remain on the Megaware KeelGuard and some on the boat. The remaining adhesive can be removed from the boat with a plastic or nylon putty knife or a decal/pinstripe removal disk. We can provide more detailed instructions upon request.
If your boat has anti-fouling boat bottom paint applied, it must be removed to expose the original gelcoat where the KeelGuard will be installed. If desired, boat bottom or anti-fouling paint can be applied over the Megaware KeelGuard once it has been installed.
