C.E.Smith Flex Keel Pad - Full Cap Style - 12 x 3 - Gold [16871]

These amazing Gold Flex Keel Pads in full cap style, measuring 12' x 3', are made of Thermal Plastic Rubber (TPR). They act as a cushion for your trailer cross - members, safeguarding your boat keel. The full cap design can be mounted on the center of any 3' wide cross member or axle that the keel might strike. Features include yellow TPR, 3' width, 12' length, 5/16' thickness, and 3/4' deep sides for easy mounting. Install using four rivets or screws (hardware not included), two through each side.

Using your C.E.Smith Gold Flex Keel Pad is a breeze. First, find the center of a 3 - foot wide cross member or axle that the boat keel might hit. Then, place the pad in position. You'll need to use four rivets or screws (which you'll have to get separately) to mount it. Put two through each side. As for maintenance, just clean it with mild soap and water regularly. Keep an eye out for any signs of wear and tear, like cracks or thinning. If you notice any, it might be time to replace the pad. Also, when not in use, store it in a cool, dry place to make it last longer.
