Kruisin On Kiara!!!

[@duncanhamilton3157]

I used to do hull scrubs for a living, admittedly using scuba. One tool I had was a suction cup fitted to a short length of dowel.with a stainless hose clamp. It held me to the boat, even with a strong tide running. Made life a lot easier

[@HarpersShed]

I think I should of pick my time better and did it on the slack tide. Although I do like your idea 👍

Harper’s Marine - Gives you the opportunity to have more marine projects under the same Channel. Have different playlists - Project Kiara for eg. Luv your work!

I like that. Harpers Marine is great

[@HarpersShed]

Thanks mate I do agree with you. It almost sounds like I know what I'm doing too 🤣

[@prestonhardy]

How about Harper's Boat Shed. Keeps you covered for other boats as well.

That one has come up a few times now and certainly in the running

Harper's water shed. A little play on words. I think I will still watch both channels so It's all good with me.

Harpers Marine Shed Kiara my two cents worth. Winter over there Pfffttttt minus -12C here at the me (NZ) in Taranaki. Mind you only Kilometer from Mountain. Keep at man. ;0)

I am leaning towards Harper's Marine so far. Yeah we don't have "real" winter here but still not warm in the water.

Thank you mate👍

[@stephensmith5317]

Reminded me of the time we did commercial diving and cleaning of ships hills with hydraulic scrubber. And shovels. All that food dropping into the deep. Being eaten by little fish, which attract bigger fish. Then sharks lol. Had me watching your ass bro.

[@HarpersShed]

Lol thanks for keep an eye out. I just try not to think about the sharks. I know they are all about but the chance of ever getting attacked is that low that I try to push it out of my mind.

[@TheBuggerboy]

Hey mate i love harpers shed but i think you should go with Kiarra's Boatworks for the other channel

Thank you mate.

Good stuff mate. I'm here for the boat but will keep an eye on both in the future for sure!

[@HarpersShed]

Thanks mate, appreciate the support 👍

[@jaquigreenlees]

Call me crazy but I would have tied the tinny so I could sit in it to clean the leg. Harper's Kiarra for the new channel, keeps a tie between the two with the first and identifies the boating aspect.

[@HarpersShed]

I have done that before but you can't get all the way to the bottom of the leg and I was already wet and cold so just jumped back in. I will plan it better next time and take the scuba gear to dive properly

I would have thought the anti foul on the leg would have been better, can I suggest you consider a trying a different anti foul for the leg next slipping. I get great results out of Pettit Vivid for aluminum, actually better results than the fiberglass anti foul.

[@HarpersShed]

Thanks mate I will be trying something different that's for sure.

[@garyashdown5376]

Have you ever considered joining a synchronized swimming team for frustrated boat owners as you certainly got the moves.there are pros and cons on the second channel idea, if you fell you can cope with extra time taken on a second channel then yes go for it but it could end up being a mill stone around your neck trying to please everyone with content. Gary 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@HarpersShed]

I'm always up for a challenge mate. Hopefully I can keep up with a regular upload schedule mate

[@deancleavesmith]

I subscribed for the boat stuff, but have found all the others pretty engaging so will be following both, kind of makes sense from an algorithm perspective but you then have to feed content to two channels - you obviously love a challenge!!

[@HarpersShed]

Thanks mate, yeah you are bang on. I will be trying my hardest to keep regular videos on both channels. Won't be easy but I think it will make things grow better for both the boat and the Harper's shed channel.

[@scottsorby7966]

Harper's boat life I didn't use Kiara's name just in case you buy other boat(s) & boating stuff, plus it lets you show any boat related videos too. Im sub'd to this channel because I found it through the boat but I like what you do and so I'll stay sub'd plus I'll be sub'd to the new channel when it goes live. Keep up the great work Tim and don't forget to keep having fun without freezing yourself half to death 😂😂😂

[@HarpersShed]

Lol thanks mate much appreciated

[@bobadam7021]

Saving Kiara. Whatever antifouling you used on the leg, was shit. You should name and shame them. Also if you throw a loop around your waist you don't have to exert so much energy holding on It makes it easier to clean the boat. I use suction cups, tie a line between the handles, start at the bow and let the current sweep me back.

[@HarpersShed]

It was the International paints antifouling specifically made for alloy legs. I'm not very impressed with it to say the least. It was bloody expensive but I think next time I will prop speed the whole leg.

[@HarpersShed]

Thanks mate appreciate the support

[@andrewfawcett-harper588]

Hi. Is there any reason that you can not paint the leg with the same paint that you used on the prop? It worked really well on the prop and therefore would cut the maintenance for the leg. I.e. less cleaning and having to don a wetsuit in cold water?

[@HarpersShed]

The only reason is cost, the kit to do the prop was almost $300 and there wasn't too much left after doing the prop. The large kit to do the whole lot is around $600. I will probably consider it when I do the repower and put the new leg on.

[@andrewfawcett-harper588]

@@HarpersShed Shame about the expense, it seems to be really good stuff and certainly did it's job on the prop. Cheers.

[@robfaith6029]

If I win could my prize be you come to Stockton and clean the bottom of my boat

[@HarpersShed]

Your welcome to go to stocko and clean your boat any time mate. I'm in port Stephens though if that was what you meant. You welcome to clean my boat too if you want 👍

[@Antipodean33]

How long has she been back in since you hauled her and did the antifoul and all the other work? I know it only seems like a couple of months on your upload time line, but that could be a couple of months or years as far as we know. How long has she been back in, that leg has a ton of growth, I've seen neglected boats with that kind of growth.

[@HarpersShed]

Hey mate, it was out of the water in February this year. Completely cleaned and antifouling on the hull and the leg. I'm not very good at getting ahead with videos so if you see an upload it's a good chance it's only a week or so behind.

[@glennjaggard7065]

Shark shark ha ha gee how long is it since you painted Hull getting dirty quickly aye did you put antifouling on the hull

[@HarpersShed]

Was antifouled in Feb this year. Didn't see any Sharks 👍

[@geoffgold6773]

Why don’t you put a plastic bag over the leg while your not moving the boat

[@HarpersShed]

I do wonder if that would actually stop the growth though. Could be worth a try I would just have to remember to get it off before I move the boat 😂

[@FluffyWubkins]

dont put the boats name in what will happen once the boat is done and you want to start a new project? Make a channel for boating rather or around that topic

[@HarpersShed]

I do tend to agree now, much better for future channel growth and allows for new/multiple boats at a time.

[@johnnybuss5637]

Do the opposite. This channel only for water stuff like boats. Find another channel for what you do on land👌

[@HarpersShed]

It's much harder to completely rebrand and rename a channel then it is to create a new one the way I want from scratch. Hopefully with everyones help we can make it right from the start.
