The hull is thoroughly cleaned using ultra high pressure fresh water to clean and remove most organic growth.

  • All underwater strainers, skin, grates and fittings below the water line are cleaned. If the vessel is stern driven, the leg is thoroughly cleaned, removing all contaminate from the legs.
  • We then move onto cleaning of the hull water line, removing scum staining on the hull. We Acid Wash waterline if necessary.
Whilst the pressure gun is mostly used for the cleaning of underwater sections of the hull whilst the boat is on our Boat Lift, we have hired it out 
on several occasions for the cleaning of Customers boats.
It is portable and can be used anywhere where there is 240V and fresh water supply.
  • We take the opportunity to give your hull a good visual inspection to ensure everything is in good order. The hull, shafts, props, etc are inspected. We also check for things like osmosis, cracking and early signs of electrolysis.
  • The Stern Drives are thoroughly inspected, focusing special attention to the most vulnerable parts of the Stern Drive around the bellows. Excessive growth in this area can lead to premature failure of the bellows, causing sea water to enter the area between the gimbal bearing on the transom and the rear leg bearing, which in turn can cause failure and siezure to many related components. This is a very important part of the inspection.
