I always try to tie a fender to the bow anchor line so others will know there
is an anchor line there. John H "Hey, Joe! Lookit floating over there!" "Well, I'll be damned if it isn't a fender! Those things are $30 apiece these days down at the big box marine store. Whatta you say we motor over and grab it?" :-) You might consider a buoy instead- something the average guy would associate with a pot line or similar hazard. |

You would think people would tie them on better and pull them in the boat when they are underway. I have never bougfht one but I have about a dozen I found stuck up in the mangroves. I use them for pool floats and whatever else I can think of. No more room on my boat. BTW the same goes for type IV cushions. |

Steve Uh, a Hobie is a BIT different than what was being talked about Steve. The OP asked about bringing smaller boats onto the beach. A Hobie Cat is a smaller boat that's brought onto the beach. Dragging them on the beach does do damage to the bottoms of the hulls eventually. Steve A Hobie is more like a dink than a boat! Yeah, yeah, it floats - but it can be un-beached (even if HARD beached) by one.

Hey Guys, I'm new here and represent Keelshield (www.keelshield.com).
I've had one on my personal boat for roughly two years and it looks just as good as the day I installed it. I fish alot of BASS Tournaments and unfortunately there's not always enough room at the piers for tying up but that's not a problem with a Keelshield. I have beached my boat on everything from concrete ramps to sandy beaches and not a scratch. Now I'm not saying this is perfect and will fit everyones needs but I personally will not have another boat without some form of Keel Protection. I look at it as cheap insurance for your hull...Someone mentioned paying 50 bucks and lugging an extra anchor around...That's not always an option for smaller boats. Besides the extra weight, anchors can make a mess with tangled rope and mud. Why not have the protection already there at all times?? My experience has been mainly on small rivers and lakes and I have never had a problem with wakes. Take a minute to visit our website and see if we can assist any of you. We have a lifetime warranty and the prices equal out to about two or three anchors/ropes :wink: If anyone has any questions feel free to email me .

What a BS spam. Not to say the product is good or bad, but the sales guy is a
sleezy *&#@*. On any Harley NG this kind of thing is killed, perhaps this boating ?? (read the political **&#@ stuff lately?) NG should do the same. My boat is left wing when the wind is from stbd, right wing with the wind from port. And it's a powerboat! Mike |

If you were refering to me, I'm sorry that I offended you
![]() a Newbie here and someone shot me an email about this post so I thought I'd chime in. If there is a problem with the post I'll be glad to pull it down. If there is some kind of "Proticol" for posting that I'm not aware of please fill me in so that I don't make the mistake again. Is there some way to Sponsor this site so that I don't offend anyone?....Again I appologize if I spoke out of turn. ![]() the way, I don't "Sell" Keelshields and I'm not into politics. :wink: *-----------------------* Posted at: www.GroupSrv.com *-----------------------* |
