Boat & Yacht Antifouling Annual Maintenance and boat repairs
At The Boat Clinic we provide a complete package that is affordable, reliable and above all exceptionally high quality. We take the opportunity to give your hull a good visual inspection during the antifouling process to ensure everything is in good order! We also check for things like osmosis, cracking and early signs of electrolysis! Below we have outlined the usual process we take when performing and Antifouling service.
The Antifoul Process
Should you be unable to deliver your boat to us, we can arrange for pickup from your location – whether that’s Docklands, Martha Cove, Melbourne, Sandringham, St Kilda or somewhere else entirely.Using the Travel-lift your vessel is lifted and high pressure washed to clean most of the organic growth. The hull is inspected and all inlets/outlets are cleaned.
Prop Speed
Given the harsh running environment that your prop maintains, moving large volumes of water and constantly residing in a whirlwind of turbulent water it isn’t a surprise that a prop coated with antifoul may not last as long as the expected service life of other less turbulent areas of the vessel. This early wear off has obvious consequences, to mention a few; the growth on your prop over time should the antifoul wear off will reduce vessel performance and decreased fuel economy.
The Boat Clinic utilize an advanced Prop Protection system from PropSpeed™ which is an advanced primer and silicone based top coat which resists wear in the turbulent environment of a working propeller and provides protection from organic growth.
Boat Detailing
The Boat Clinic provide an unparalleled quality in boat detailing, boat cleaning interior and exterior plus regular maintenance. We have an experienced team that can provide detailing services from the works upturning everything on your vessel and cleaning it from top to bottom, right through to a quick wash on a regular basis.
