WARNING: These things aren't cheap!
They average about $130 for a 5' guard (I bought one according to a little less than half the length of my Yak)
Search eBay for [whatever size & color]' Keelguard you want. I forget who I bought mine from (it was from a marine supply dealer with overstock) but in my search found it for about $30 less than the cheapest listing (<$100, it pays to scroll through entire search or limit search).
Just found this one although it's only 2" wide and comes in Black only (much like the original one I bought, my replacement is 4" and Lt. Gray which is a close match to my "Dune" Outback);

OR the Keelshield Brand that I bought with a choice of colors,
