Spring / Summer Time Hull Cleaning Schedule

During the warmer water season MAY – OCT we maintain our customers boats in a 3 weeks hull cleaning rotation in anticipation to the warmer waters.

This is the time where the boat owners will notice the increase of marine life activities and growth improvement due to the water temperatures.

At this time the most common marine growth we see is the Algae growth (CHIOROPHYTES – Green Algae / PHAEOPHYTES – Brown Algae / RHODOPHYTES – Red Algae) the Algae family likes the waterline and transom of the boat due the amount of sun light that this areas are exposed during the spring / summer time.

Another common type of marine growth is the Sea Animals which is the (POLYCHAETA – White Coral Worm and TUNICATE – Sponge like Organisms) The White Coral Worms usually attach deeply to the hull rather quickly on the warm water season, this can short the life span of the hull bottom paint when left there for a long period of time.

Why should I paint the bottom of my boat?

Any boat that remains in a marine environment for any period of time will be colonized by marine growth, including algae, sponges, grasses, polychaetes, barnacles, mussels, and more.
To prevent or slow down this fouling, boat owners apply antifouling coating (Bottom Paint). There are three stages of hull fouling associated with marine growth and they are Bacterial Biofilm, which is microscopic and plugs the pores of paints, Algae film (Slime) which further plugs the pores, interferes with water flow across the hull and provides a good footing for the third stage, and invertebrates, the (hard growth), which causes significantly higher friction as boats move through the water. Such friction, or drag, increases the fuel cost for power boats and slows down sailboats. In addition, hard growth penetrates the surface of the paint, which contributes to the degradation of the paint.
"I've had my boat in mission bay for 15 years. I had a really good friend handling my hull cleaning. He sold the business and my service went to hell. I was down on the boat getting ready for a trip and I couldn't get water through my bait pump and wash down. Doug just happened to be on the dock, and volunteered to go check it out. He came back up after he had cleaned and cleared all of my through holes and said don't worry about a fee. He's been my guy ever since. It's a rarity in the boat world to meet genuine people, that work hard and treat their customers right. I can't say enough good things about Doug, he is top notch and really cares about his customers."

I strongly suggest you look no further for a diver. Integrity is one word I can use to sum up this company. I'm a customer for life!"
JORDAN H.35' FORMULA
"Douglas does a great job maintaining my boat. No only does he keep the bottom clean, but he checks and replaces my zincs as necessary and keeps an eye on the bottom paint. He is courteous, returns calls and emails promptly, and shows up when he says he will. I would highly recommend his services."
