Frequently Asked Questions

Warm Gulf waters cause rapid marine growth. We transition most clients to a higher-frequency schedule of twice monthly during warm summer months starting May 1st, and maintain a consistent schedule of once a month through the winter to keep running gear clean and to preserve anti-fouling coatings.

We install high-quality Zimar zinc anodes for saltwater applications. Every hull cleaning includes an anode wear inspection, replacing them only when necessary to protect your vessel against galvanic corrosion.

Yes. We specialize in underwater propeller pulling right at your dock using specialized gear, saving you the expense and delay of hauling out. We also provide full propeller pulling, cutlass bearing replacement, and running gear service in local boatyards.

Anti-fouling paint lifespan depends on paint quality, vessel usage, local water conditions, and maintaining a consistent cleaning schedule. Across Sarasota, Charlotte, Manatee, and Lee counties, quality bottom paint on fiberglass hulls generally lasts 18 to 36 months (and up to 48 months with regular, non-abrasive care).

Keep in mind that anti-fouling coatings do not last as long on underwater metal components (such as shafts, props, and trim tabs) or metal boats like pontoons and tritoons. Metal surfaces require specialized copper-free antifouling formulas that often need to be reapplied every 12 to 18 months.

Yes. Following every maintenance visit, you receive a detailed written report covering hull condition, running gear, thru-hulls, and anode burn rates, accompanied by underwater photos.
