Preseason must - CHECK YOUR KEELGUARDS!

Featured Replies

  • Super User

I've been busy, prepping my Z7 for the Road Trip and another season.  Been cleaning, vacuuming, waxing, etc.

I've had the water pump checked and the motor started and given the once over.

So, I finally get around to working on the bottom of the boat.  I find the keel guard needs replacing.  It has worn through where it sits on the concrete ramps. 

It hasn't reached the fiberglass, but the keel is clearly visible where the skin has worn off the guard.  Another eighth of an inch of wear and it will be chewing on the fiberglass.

In a week, a new keel guard will be installed.  And, knowing what I know now, I will definitely pay attention when it is necessary to ground the boat on a ramp.

I will definitely be extremely gentle in the future.

Rhino line or line x or one or maybe both of these products now have a spray on keel gaurd....I have not really heard reviews on it though... Might be worth looking into though!
