MEGAWARE KEEL GUARD PRODUCT INFORMATION:
Megaware developed the Keelguard after first consulting with professional boat designers and the very experienced and knowledgeable engineers from 3M. Together they produced a first rate, reliable, quality product. To ensure the best long lasting protection they selected a unique combination of polymers and urethanes which is shock absorbent but also remains pliable to assist application.
The Keelguard instantly bonds to the hull using 3M’s super strong pressure sensitive adhesive, after application of the 3M primer. The bond is permanent, no curing time is necessary.
Careful research ensured that the Keelguard was designed and produced with angled grooves which produce hydrodynamic channels. These channels create air pockets and therefore provide a slicker surface, eliminating the possibility of any speed reduction. The smooth contoured edges make a clean tight seal with the surface of the hull, eliminating the need for any additional sealants.
Trusted Protection
KeelGuard has been protecting watercraft of all kinds, including PWCs, recreational boats, professional fishing boats, dinghies, RIBs, coast guard fleets and RNLI craft for years. Suitable both for the recreational user and commercial operations so why not join Megaware KeelGuard’s trusted customers by protecting your investment with the very best now.
Lifetime Warranty
Megaware guarantees KeelGuard (to the original purchaser), against abrasive wear and adhesion failure during normal use of your boat, for as long as you own your boat.
Installation consists of four basic steps:
1. Etching 2. Cleaning 3. Priming 4. Applying
Step 1. Etching (Scuffing)
Before application of the KeelGuard, the fibreglass mould release agents must be removed. Etch or scuff the keel surface, taking off the gloss where the guard is to be installed. This helps remove the release agents or waxes and helps give KeelGuard's adhesive a better mechanical bond. The supplied pad is a mild 320 grit and will not damage the keel's gel coat or paint.
Step 2. Cleaning
After etching the hull, follow-up by thoroughly cleaning the area with acetone. The fibreglass keel should be wiped thoroughly using clean rags or paper towels and then re-wipe with another clean rag or paper towel, using acetone.
Step 3. Priming
After thoroughly cleaning the keel area as outlined in step 2, it is time to apply a very thin coat of the 3M # 94 Keel Primer provided in the kit. The primer interacts with the adhesive to create a bond that will become stronger over time.
Step 4. Applying
Pull back the protective strips one side at a time up to 3 feet and begin pressing on with the burnishing tool. Work from the centre out to ensure no air is trapped between the hull and adhesive. Do one side up to 3 feet and then the other. Continue working toward the rear in 3 foot sections until completed. After the KeelGuard is completely attached, go over it again with the burnishing tool applying strong force and pressure, making certain that all edges are pressed down firmly.
No curing time is required. The boat or personal watercraft is immediately ready for use.
Average installation time is 45-60 minutes depending on the length of KeelGuard.
The KeelGuard kit comes complete with everything needed to professionally install the KeelGuard, except a cleaning agent used in step 2 However, the cleaning agent (acetone) is readily available at most chandlers, paint or hardware stores.
