If you follow the instructions *exactly* for the installation, you won't
have a problem. Mine is the same way. The plastic tool they give you will
help conform it to the strakes. The important part is the prep, so
everything bonds properly.

I followed the instructions to the best of my ability and mine conformed
nicely to the strake on one side but I ended up with a slight gap under the
strake on the other. Nobody but me notices it and performance of the
keelguard isn't affected. Agreed on the importance of prep. Also make sure
you position it right, because once it's on there it isn't going anywhere.
