Removing a Keel Guard

hickswes · 05-11-09, 12:13 PM

Here is a tip for removing the glue left behind once someone has pulled off the Keel Guard. I used rubbing acohol and a metal scraper to remove the top layer of glue then I used 3M Adhesive remover on a sponge( to apply it upside down) thoughly soaked the last layer of glue then with a plastic scraper slowly scraped off the the rest. Once all the glue was off sprayed it with acohol to clean everything up I hope this helps there is not much info on how to remove the old glue so I thought I would post it
Good Luck

When I bought the boat it was already removed and I am going to put another one on there so I needed to take the old glue off

been working on my new/used boat. noticed that the adds about keel-guard state that the guard is only 6.5ft. long for a 18' boat. where does the guard go on the keel? that is how far back from the bow. or better yet where to attach it for the best protection?
