To keel or not to keel

[Moki]

Talltigeguy,

I have kept my other boats staying straight by tying a line on each side of the boat near the back and then anchoring the lines at a 45 degree angle. I like the idea of the bungee cord, is that what you do when you go to Powell?

I've had a KEEL GAURD brand on both my previous 2 boats. They worked great to protect the bottom. But, both of them came loose. The 3M adhesive 'let go' from the keel guard, not the bottom of the boat, but what the factory puts together! I plan on putting one on before next year, but will not buy a 3rd KEEL GAURD. anybody used a KEEL SHIELD brand?

KEEL SHIELD

I have had the same problem with the KEEL GUARD, It seems like they only last about 3 years. I don't know about the Keel Shield
