keel guard?
I really don't want my aluminum boat getting scars on it at the boat dock when it does touch/hit the cement. Has anyone used those rubber keel guards on their mud boats to protect the keel area at the lower bow section?

Re: keel guard?
I've owned aluminum boats for 25 years. You might be over thinking it. In 2007 I replaced the 1956 Lone Star that my uncle gave me with a tracker Grizzly. The aluminum on the keel of the 1956 lone star was still good. I kept the tracker for a decade and it was fine when I got rid of it too.

Re: keel guard?
Ever tried, oh I don’t know, not parking your boat on the cement?

Re: keel guard?
Use Gator Guard's "Keel Shield". It is a Polyurethane, not PVC. The cheaper PVC options do not hold up to abuse, and are known for delamination issues.

Re: keel guard?
It's concrete......cement is an ingredient in concrete. A powder that when added with aggregate, water, and sand makes concrete

Re: keel guard?
Not necessarily. It's placed on the ground. It pours out of the chute. It's poured inside the wall out of the chute, if a pump is used the pump places it from point a to point b.
Next....
