ZEN BASSIN Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 What does the board think about keel guards? Any down side to them? :-/ Quote
Kevin Davis Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 been thinking about one myself, i assume that you want one for a glass boat? I talked to a mechanic at the marina and he said that they can be a pain to put on. one air bubble and it will come right off. he said the surface had to be like new with no inperfections to make it stick. needless to say that kinda turned me off since whoever owned my boat prior got into some rocks and now i have to do some repairs.

tkite16 Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 I put one on my 85 bass tracker fiberglass boat by myself with no problem. I see no downside to them. Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted May 17, 2008 Super User Posted May 17, 2008 I wouldn't have a glass boat without one. They are not hard to install. You just have to be able to scratch your boat with a Scotch Brite pad. Quote
bassdocktor Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 I honestly don't see any glass bass boats without one. Rarely are there actual docks at any of the small lakes I fish so it makes sense. You could always look at it as more protection for your investment. I've also known guys that add them when the buy the boat themselves. Quote
