Frequently Asked Questions
Answers To Frequently Asked Questions
What is hull cleaning and why is it important?
Hull cleaning involves removing algae, barnacles, and other marine growth from the bottom of your boat. This is important because a clean hull improves your boat's performance, fuel efficiency, and longevity. It also helps prevent damage to the hull and propulsion systems, ensuring a smoother and safer boating experience.
How often should I have my boat's hull cleaned?
The frequency of hull cleaning depends on several factors, including the type of water your boat is in (freshwater or saltwater), the frequency of use, and the local marine environment. Generally, it is recommended to have your hull cleaned every 3 to 6 months. Regular inspections can help determine the best schedule for your specific boat.
What is a zinc inspection and why do I need it?
Zinc inspections involve checking the sacrificial anodes (zinc anodes) on your boat. These anodes prevent corrosion by attracting electrolysis that would otherwise damage your boat's metal components. Regular inspections and timely replacements of zinc anodes are crucial to protect your boat from costly corrosion damage.
What is included in a video inspection service?
During a video inspection, our divers use advanced lighting and filming equipment to capture detailed footage of your boat's underwater parts, including the hull, propellers, and other critical components. This footage allows you to visually assess the condition of your boat and identify any issues that may need attention. We provide you with a comprehensive video report for your records.
Are your hull cleaning methods environmentally friendly?
Yes, we prioritize environmentally friendly practices in all our services. Our cleaning methods and products are chosen to minimize impact on marine life and water quality. We use eco-friendly techniques that are effective at removing marine growth while protecting the environment.
