A. In the unlikely event you need to remove a KeelGuard, it can be done by using a heat gun and applying force. The 3M adhesive is designed to shear apart if enough strength and energy is exerted. Some of the adhesive will remain on the KeelGuard and some on the boat. The remaining adhesive can be removed from the boat with a soft putty knife and a heat gun. Or, a decal/adhesive removal disk is available from 3M.
