DIY KEEL PROTECTION HOBIE 

Hi from France ! Thank you for the video ! 😉👍

Nicely done. I use keeleazy on my kayak and gorilla tape for the mid and back section. Great product at reasonable price.

I just bought a lightning Strike kayak and I'm using this method to protect mine as well. Thats for showing this.

Great job and thank you for your service .

watching you put that keel guard on is like watching art in progress not only does it hopefully protect kayak but looks amazing too and I can't wait to apply this to my kayak thanks for the video

I’m gonna do this to my Compass now. Thanks for the video

Great Video and thank you for your service. My brother is a veteran and I have four generations of military in my family

Good stuff man! Going to use it on my kayak. My dad was a Vietnam vet too. Thank you

Great Job😎👍

Great looking work

Thanks for you service to our country. I just got my 1st kayak and am researching ways to keep it in top shape. I didn't know Gorilla made that tape. Thanks for the video.

Thanks Dale.

How has this held up so far? Looking at putting a keel guard onto my yak

Use 3mm Kydex. It heats and bends easily with a heat gun, creates a tough lasting hard plastic.

My experience has been that the Mirage Drive is great for shallow water in Florida. Have used them in less than 1 foot water... Gotta learn how to flutter pedal. Once I learned that the all was good. Give it a try if you haven't already... works wonders. Change the location of your circular lights next time. put them off to the side.

Nice job.

Thank you for your service sir! Tight lines!

I like the way the rear was done but I think I'm going to do the PVC pipe 1 for the front

Amazing video! would you mind if you tell me your experience after couple use to the kayak? Also, If I took it out one time, is it going to affect the actual kayak or leave any marks on it? thanks

Does that gorilla tape harden up, or does it stay soft? I’m curious as to how it actually protects the kayak. I’ve seen someone use pvc pipe, and can see how that would protect.

Mr. Dale, please let us know how well this has held up over time.

How long did it all last so far in salt water? Very interested to know, thanks

When I was building wooden boat we would use 5200 to mount rubber under tanks

What Gorilla tape did you use and how did it hold up (heavy duty, waterproof, etc.) Thanks

Just wondering about use in saltwater. Is it still sticking to surface of kayak? That was my concern.

I’m also wondering if the unglued parts of the tube stretched out over time?

I was thinking about using aluminum tape

That gorilla tape will scuff off

look at all that gear set up... LOL my goodness, this guy really believes anything worth doing is worth doing right, didnt cut any corners here.
