BerleyPro Bumper Bro Kayak Keel Guard for Hull Protection. Compatible with Hobie Kayaks, Hobie Outback, Hobie Pro Angler, Hobie Compass, Hobie Passport, Hobie Revolution, Hobie Lynx

Didn’t fit perfect but you can’t expect it to. Every rotomold is unique. Great product just make sure you heat it to shape first

You’re paying for a small study piece of plastic, but it’s easy to install and looks clean. It takes abuse well and that’s what you’re paying for. Obviously you’ve made an investment on your kayak and it is only reasonable to protect it as well as possible. This protects one one portion of the kayak that is always touching the group when loading and unloading. It will also surely protect against and sudden objects in the water.

Bought for the hobie Outback, it fits a little bit loose, and costs too much for what it is. Unfortunately there aren’t any alternatives on the market.

First the fit is very loose ( picture taken before trying to reform the guard on Hobie PA12). There is no way there is that much variance in Hobie PA12 hulls/molds but that is BerleyPro's excuse. It would be easier to work it if it was to tight a fit in my opinion. Took me an hour with a high end heat gun to try and improve the fit. Tape can not close the gaps alone. Instructions are extremely over simplified and no suggestion for type of adhesive to use. The general statement "use a marine adhesive" is extremely vague as some of these adhesives are not compatible with ABS or Polyethylene. This looked like an easy quick installation, it is not. With out making a jig to provide the appropriate amount of clamping force you will end up with large gaps between the hull and the guard. $54 plus tax is a complete rip off. Obviously very unsatisfied. Probably could have done better myself with an oven and and a piece of Kydex but I thought I would save some time. I didnt. I hate leaving a negative review but wanted others to know the truth and save them some money and frustration.

This is a must have . Sorry I didn’t know about these when we bought our Hobie kayaks or any brand kayak that it fits Amazing product - super easy to install . When ordering adhesive will pop up . Been on for 1 1/2 . When u come in to concrete ramp you don’t cringe.

Concept is good, but unless you have a heat gun to help mold it tighter to the keel, it is hard to get a tight fit and you then have to fill gap with a sealant of some type (e.g. Marine Goo), which in turn can be hard to get a nice clean look.

It was a nice fit and then I sealed the the edges and it looks great to mw

guard material is so tough and not exactly fits compass

Simply doesn't fit. Like some of the other 1 star review images. I bought 2 of these and both were way off. Almost $200 completely wasted. I want to love Berley Pro being an Aussie but I can't buy from them again after this.
