Why clean your boat underwater?
- Improve performance of your vessel
- Reduce fuel costs
- Increases the useful lifetime of anti-fouling paint
- Keep eye on anti-corrosion precautions such as zinc anodes monitoring and installation*
FACTS:
Your boat is in a perfect feeding and breeding ground for organisms such as the tube worm, which are small coral-like strands that grow on unpainted areas of your boat, or areas that have weak anti-fouling paint. The worms rapid growth and colonization can seriously affect the performance of your vessel, especially during the summer months.
This wide spread growth will attach to your waterline and exposed trailing edge area of your boat, making your boat look unsightly. If your vessel is not cleaned on a regular basis, you will use a considerable amount of extra fuel (20 – 25%) getting to your destination, overheat engines due to lack of water flow into cooling systems and possibly not having adequate safe control of your vessel.
