The AntiFouling Process Begins!
- Your Vessel is lifted using one of our many travel lift / sea lift facilities. We can also provide a pickup service for your boat should you be unable to arrange delivery to our facilities.
- The hull is thoroughly cleaned using ultra high pressure fresh water to clean and remove most organic growth
- We then move onto inspections and cleaning of the hull water line, removing scum staining on the hull
- All underwater strainers, skin, grates and fittings below the water line are removed, thoroughly cleaned and prepared for AntiFouling. We find it is best to remove these to ensure thorough inspection of inlets and that the units are cleaned and prepared properly.
- The hull, shafts, props, etc are then inspected again during the preparation stages for priming
- Priming of the hull begins
- If the vessel is stern driven, the leg is thoroughly inspected and cleaned, removing all contaminate from the leg, focusing special attention to the most vulnerable parts of the Stern Drive Leg around the belows where excessive growth can lead to premature failure of the below’s causing sea water to enter the area between the gimbal bearing on the transom and the rear leg bearing which can cause failure and siezure to many related components. This is a very important part of the inspection and cleaning process.
- Advanced Industry leading AntiFoul is applied to the hull after final preparation post the priming stage to the manufacturers specifications.
- Strainers, Grates and underwater fittings that where removed are placed back on the vessel and secured in place.
- All other inlets, hoses, etc are cleaned de masked and put back in place. including speedo, etc.
- Anodes are placed back on the vessel or replaced if required.
- After the manufacturers recommended cure time, the vessel is lifted back into the water. And is ready for delivery. We can deliver the boat back to you if required.
