Abstract
A protective device (10) for preventing damage to the hull of a watercraft (12) is shown formed of elongated members (10a, 10b) of flexible material and having pressure sensitive structural adhesive on a side thereof for attaching the members to the surface of a watercraft. Member (10a) serves as a first protective member and is formed with a central section (13) having longitudinally extending cavity (30) to enable the member to conform to variously shaped hulls. One or more supplemental members (10b) are shown for attachment on each opposite side of the first protective member and serve as auxiliary protective members.
