Was thinking about putting a white keel guard on my boat, Do they get dingy or dirty looking. or can you keep them looking good, I was thinking over time they might get to looking bad were a darker one wouldn't. Thanks

I put a white one on about 5 or 6 yrs ago and it tends to get dirty. It's not real easy to reach when I wipe down the boat after taking out so it stays dirty most of the time. Wish I would have put a black one on.

Not to bad mine is white but I keep mine clean and it's still in good shape
I had a white one and it turned kind of yellow after a few years.
I got nothin
dont do it. i wish i would have gone with black. mine has yellowed in about 7 years
before
now
Once you go black you will never go back
Mine's 18 years old and when I post pics, sometimes people tell me I need a keel guard because they can't see it on my white hull.

Don’t be jealous. It was just an open storage spot
Mine is 18 years old and still looks good.

Had a white Hamby's on a Triton years ago and it eventually began to come apart. Hamby's prorated the replacement but at the time had quit making white one's due to that very issue. May be different now but it too was a bit faded when it was replaced (with a black one).

They turn yellow in a couple yrs
I had black installed on my white hull, and the contrast in colors looks good. I would go black.
Mine is 8 yrs old and still looks like new . I always wipe it down when I pull the boat out .
I put a white one on and wish I would’ve gone with black. It’s dingy and yellowed. Definitely go with black!
I have a white keel guard on my '09 Triton and it has discolored the same as TroyBoy30's even though I wipe it down every trip. Still functional but definitely not at "pretty" as it was when new.
Does anybody make a product like the keel guard that would protect a kayak hull?

Hambys has always suggested Black.
