C.E.Smith Flex Keel Pad - Edge Cover Style - 10 x 1-1/2 - Black [16870]

This black poly keel pad is a must - have for boat owners. It's designed to cushion trailer cross members, effectively protecting your boat's keel. The edge cover style can be easily mounted on the trailing edge of cross members or axles of any width. Key features include: it's made of black poly material, measures 10' in length and 1 - 1/2' in width, has a thickness of 3/8', and 4 - 1/2' hole centers. To install, use two rivets or screws through the top (hardware not included).

Using this keel pad is easy. First, find the trailing edge of your trailer's cross member or axle where you want to mount it. Then, line up the holes on the keel pad with the appropriate spots on the cross member or axle. You'll need to use two rivets or screws to attach it (but remember, the hardware isn't included). When using your boat, the keel pad will work silently to protect your boat's keel from damage. As for maintenance, keep it clean. You can wash it with mild soap and water if it gets dirty. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the black poly material. Also, check it regularly for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice any major damage, it's best to replace it to keep your boat safe.
