It could only happen to me: put a keel-guard on my V20...enjoyed ability to run 'er up on the bank a little w/out the ''crunch''...worked well...then one day, I'm puttin' it on the trailer, miss the center roller, hang the bow on a trailer cross-member and CUT the keel-guard backin' it off to realign...had to come off after that and never replaced... :P...

Hammer, a burnishing tool came w/mine; it's a heavy-duty plastic (thick) handle one end, wide blade other end...Franco's right...it applies even pressure by rubbin' it across the keel-guard as you put it on...no big deal...I kept mine, it's come in handy for lots of other stuff ;) ;D...
