Bowshield - Small 6.5" x 6"
Protect the bow of your boat from scuffs and abrasions caused by the trailer roller with the most durable bow guard on the market.
The bow, much like the keel, is in a very vulnerable area in the front of the boat. The exposed bow can easily be scratched, torn, and worse from bumping into docks, trailer hitches, and bow rollers. This can cause some expensive damage to your boat. Don’t let that happen! Ensure that your bow area is protected with Gator Guards BowShield.
Constructed of strong and durable 22 gauge, 316 marine grade mirror finish stainless steel, the small BowShield is 6.5" x 6" and fits bow rollers up to 5'' and the medium fits bow rollers up to 8'' The area where the BowShield gets installed needs to be smooth with no steps or chines to conform around.
The BowShield has a pre-creased centerline for easy bending and fitting. It is easy to apply and comes complete with a 24-hour urethane adhesive for a permanent installation. It will not pop off like the peel-and-stick ones. Every BowShield comes with our three-year warranty.
