Vessel Maintenance

Prolong your antifouling bottom paint - removing growth in a timely manner saves your paint from harsh cleaning

Increase fuel economy - fouling creates drag that slows you speed and increases fuel consumption

Damage prevention - marine growth can cause damage to a vessels hull and paint when left unattended

Faster hull - a fouled hull and running gear reduces speed

Clogged intakes - cleaning out through hulls regularly keeps you vessel from running poorly

Anode assessment - anodes need to be maintained to keep galvanic corrosion at bay

Hard growth - Barnacles, Oyster, Clams, Mussels, Tube Worms, Coral

Soft Growth - Algae, Sea Sponges, River Grass

Non Marine Fouling - Mud, Oil, Plastic, Rope, Fishing Line

Effective cleaning - we use the least abrasive methods to prolong the life of antifouling and metal coatings

Attention to detail - an inspection of all underwater components is critical for every hull cleaning

Proper equipment - quality gear that is routinely inspected keeps us safe

Appropriate tools - the correct tools for the job are always used to ensure a thorough cleaning

Photo documentation - any damage encountered will be documented and sent to the client ASAP

Monthly reports - a report of every hull cleaning is sent to the client upon completetion

Galvanic corrosion - occurs when two touching dissimilar metals are immersed in a conductive solution

Stray current - the current flowing through paths other than the intended electrical circuit

Sacrificial anode - highly active metals that are used to prevent a less active material surface from corroding

Maintenance - inspection of anodes is a must to prevent corrosion on all submerged boat metals

Replacement - once an anode is at 30-50% depleted they must be changed out

Quality - anodes are made from alloys and must be purchased from reputable dealers to ensure integrity
