Have you got one on yours ?

Shure do G, I fish by myself quite a bit. I can pull the boat up on the ramp
and not worry bout the bottom getting damaged. I also mounted a Talon on it
So it's still there when I get the trailer.

What kind of boat do you have it on? I think one will fit on my Sea Ark but I am still studying on it. Any tips or advice?

It's a Triton TC-17, I put the Keelguard kit on myself. It's not hard to install, you have to get it clean.
It comes with scuff pads,too much work.. I used a jitter bug sander with 400 grit to clean hull.
Then you put on the primer. Make Shure it's straight..
It also helps to mark the bottom so you know your working area.

Thank for the info.....put up a picture if you have one

On the aluminum boat.....do I need to remove all the paint in that area? Or just rough it up good ?

G, not sure if u have to remove the paint, I wouldn't think so, my bottom's
Not painted. I would call that 800 # and
Ask them. I had some oxidation and lake scum so I sanded mine. The worst
Part is laying on your back to put it on.
But I won't have a boat without one
Now that I see they're worth!!!

Looks good.....I may get brave enough and try it
