Marine Services: Dive Services
Boat owners know the effects of a fouled hull. Instead of a smooth, clean hull slipping through the water, marine growth creates drag, reducing speed. Extra demand on engines to maintain speed means increased full use, an added cost regardless of vessel size. Fouling is the result of marine growth, a constant process which begins between one and four months. Fouling occurs even on a newly painted clean hull treated with the best toxic paints. On bare aluminum and painted hulls, if left unchecked, growth continues until the anti-fouling coat or the aluminum metal is penetrated where finally the hull itself is damaged. Tests show a fouled hull can increase fuel cost by 15% - 20% or more.

We all know barnacles can be a drag, so its important to keep them in order. A smooth, clean bottom improves the efficiency of your yacht allowing it to run faster, save gas and take stresses away from many boat parts increasing their life span.
