    Yup, my Keel Guard has been on for 6 years also, with no problems.

    My original Hamby keel protector peeled a bit at the front. It was replaced under warranty and the new one has been on 5 years without a problem.

    I've had a Hambys on three Phoenix boats now. Never had a problem.

    Dealer put A Hambys on my new boat. I had them on others and worked great. Phoenix does not do Hambys from the factory but my dealer puts them on a lot of boats with out issues

    I have a hambys on a 2017 921. Had to reseal a little bit where they didnt use enough adhesive by the strakes, been holding up for a couple years since doing the repair.

    My son and I both had problems on our last boats. Got the heavy duty Hambys on my Phoenix, never an issue.

    Had a keel shield on my 2014 921. Beached it once, keel shield peeled completely off shortly thereafter.
