What maintenance do you tackle when you are out of the water?

Great video. One item to remember too is if applying any cleaning chemical on a boat on a trailer is to carefully read how the chemical interacts with metal part - and even to be safe i would recommend to cover the trailer with plastic first. Great to see on video too impact of a great bottom paint on a job. If applied correctly it is amazing the kob they do fighting the elements at sea

Thank you. Because of the growth on my trim tabs, I was worried about the bottom paint. But it was really clean.

I naturally wonder if barney thinks it's a hurricane when you high pressure wash?

Ha. I have never though of it before, now I will not stop wondering.

Mix some dish soap with the BB and it will cling onto the surface much longer.

What bottom paint is on the boat? Looks to be working well

I had to ask my dealer which they put on. It is Marpro Super B Gold. I was sure the bottom would be covered because of what I could see on the trim tabs, I was pleasantly surprised there was essentially no growth where there was paint.

I couldn't do this. Just looking at them gives me the creeps. I would have to do it with a scraper or a wire brush or something. I'm sorry you have to even deal with that. There's always something to screw up the works.

Part of owning a boat. Not always glamorous.

Any thoughts of painting the trim tabs with bottom paint to prevent barnacles?

@echozulucruising 10 ай бұрын

Damn it. Our boat came without them painted and I just took it for granted that is the way of the world. Looks like they can be coated with anti-fouling with proper priming and keeping the anodes in contact with the tab. I shall research more for our next 100 hour service.

All the chemicals? What ever happened to people who just scrape barnacles off and that’s it.

For us they help get loosen and get the residue off.

Why can't you scrape them off?

@echozulucruising 2 ай бұрын

They are really tough to just scrape. Especially the ones on the fiberglass hull.

The pressure washer we used at the marina was not strong enough to take them off, so we used this to do complete the job. Thank you for sharing another option.
