Subject: Re: Removing a Keel Guard

For anybody else that runs into this.

If you have access to any type of drill use a drill and a pin stripe removing wheel.

If you get the bulk of the extra rubber membrane off before starting it will help. But just take the pin stripe removing disk (its like a big eraser wheel) and use that in the drill and it will remove whats left of the membrane and also any adhessive that is left. It takes a little time but is much easier than elbow grease. It also will not damage the fiberglass or the gel coat at all.

I would strongly suggest that if your going to get a keel gaurd to install the hard rubber one that epoxy's on as that one has much better protection and will not come off like the cheaper rubber one.
