    I bought this one ! HOWEVER, I really didn't like the look of it using the adhesive, I drilled a 1/4" hole in the shield, then the same in the boat, and used 1/4" Stainless pop rivets. MUCH cleaner look, and guaranteed to last longer !!

    I did a little research on these and there are a lot of them falling off with glue loosening up as a lot of tension in one spot.

    Ever since I changed my bow roller to a Stoltz it has eliminated any marks, scuffs or damage I used to get. Just saying.
