Is this an aluminum semi-V? If so, it should work, depending on how you define "work".

Yes, the keel guard will work however, be advise....... it will NOT add any strength to the keel and the aluminum will still be susceptible to dents and damage under the keel guard. It will give you a good wearing surface.

Yes, a keel guard would be good for this, but as Bob_VT wrote, it won't stop major damage. Pick your spots carefully (watch out for rocks, etc.).
