Megaware ScuffBuster Stainless Steel Bow Guard with Notch - 5.75 x 4.5 Inch, Part 02638
Megaware ScuffBuster Stainless Steel Bow Guard with Notch - 5.75 x 4.5 Inch, Part 02638
The Megaware ScuffBuster Stainless Steel Bow Guard with Notch (part 02638) shields your boat's bow and hull edges from the scuffs, scrapes, and abrasion caused by trailer rollers during loading and launching. It is built from anti-corrosive, 22-gauge 304 stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish, giving it strong resistance to saltwater and freshwater corrosion while keeping a clean, low-profile look on the hull. The notched design is shaped to work around protrusions such as cleats or bow fittings, so the guard sits flush against the gelcoat rather than fighting the hardware around it.
Installation is straightforward: the guard attaches directly to the boat's surface using a 3M pressure-sensitive adhesive, and the stainless steel can be bent by hand to conform to the curve of the hull for a tight, consistent fit. Once mounted, it forms a durable barrier that takes the repeated contact from trailer rollers instead of your gelcoat, helping preserve the boat's finish and resale appearance over years of trailering. The Megaware ScuffBuster Bow Guard with Notch measures 5.75 inches high by 4.5 inches wide and is backed by a one year limited manufacturer's warranty.
