Scuff Buster

The Megaware ScuffBuster™ is a protective shield made from 22-gauge 316 stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish, attaching to your boat’s bow with 3M pressure-sensitive adhesive to prevent scuffs, scratches, and abrasions from trailer rollers or docking.

The Megaware ScuffBuster™ BowGuard protects your boat’s bow by serving as a durable barrier against scuffs, scratches, and abrasions from trailer rollers, docks, or bow rollers during trailering, launching, or docking. The BowGuard helps maintain your boat’s pristine appearance while covering minor existing marks.

Yes, you can install the Megaware ScuffBuster™ BowGuard yourself. It’s designed for easy, DIY installation with no special tools required. To install the ScuffBuster, clean the boat’s bow surface thoroughly to remove dirt, wax, or oils. Position the ScuffBuster where it will protect against scuffs (e.g., near trailer rollers or docks) and prebend it to fit so it hugs the hull firmly. Peel off the adhesive backing and press firmly to secure, ensuring it conforms to the hull. For best results, read the full application instructions for further details and tips.

Made from premium 22-gauge 316 stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish, it offers exceptional durability and corrosion resistance tailored for harsh marine environments. Its precision-cut, flexible design ensures a perfect fit on most fiberglass and aluminum boats, protecting against scuffs from trailers, docks, or bow rollers.

The Megaware ScuffBuster™ comes in multiple sizes to fit various boats: Standard (5.75″ x 4.5″) and XL (9″ x 8.75″) with solid or notched options for bow eyes. It works best on standard V-shaped hulls or bows with minimal curvature. Measure the bow area prone to scuffs (e.g., where it contacts trailer rollers or docks) and compare it to the ScuffBuster’s dimensions. Choose the size based on the area you want to protect, the space available, and the size of your trailer roller or V-brace.

The Megaware ScuffBuster™ comes in two main sizes: Standard (5.75″ x 4.5″) and XL (9″ x 8.75″), with notched or solid options for different bow eye configurations.

The Megaware ScuffBuster™ can cover minor bow scratches or light surface damage, but the 3M adhesive requires a smooth, stable surface to bond properly. Damage to the bow, unprofessional repairs, or poorly bonded paint or gelcoat may cause adhesion failure. We recommend repairing any damaged areas and ensuring a clean, smooth surface before installing the ScuffBuster for best results.

Yes, the Megaware ScuffBuster™ works best on  standard V-shaped bows with smooth surfaces and minimal curvature. Ensure the bow is free of rivets,  textures, and protruding welds to avoid adhesion failure. If you have further questions, please call our office at (801) 334-5335.
