First trip after install I hit a big rock and took a bite out of my Keel
Shield. A chunk about the size of half a little finger is torn loose. Are
there any kits for repairing the shield?
Failing the kit is there an alternative to replacing the shield?

Thanks in advance.

No worries, the manufacturer has left the door wide open for you to get
a new Keel Shield and any labor required to install it, or to get your
existing unit professionally repaired.

This has to be the most loosely written warranty I've ever seen:
"Anything that happens to your Keel Shield is completely
covered.........." I guess they can get away with this by charging
$10-15 a foot for a roll of plastic molding and a tube of adhesive to
begin with, but you ought to take them up on their "anything that
happens" clause.

From the site:

Thanks, I wrote the company and they advised to send pictures and they will
send a replacement for me if needed. They also sent directions to remove
the old one. Says it takes about an hour.
Seems like a good company.

Good news! Thanks for your follow up post.
