Antifouling
Maintaining a good antifoul coating on the hull of your boat is a necessary part of annual maintenance to prevent osmosis, the process of water slowly penetrating the hull.
If the process of osmosis is allowed to happen, blistering of the gel coat will occur and the fibreglass beneath will no longer be protected. This in turn potentially leads to massive repair costs if indeed it is possible to repair. Without antifouling, your hull will become a breeding ground for all types of marine life, weeds, barnacles and more. Keeping your hull clean increases the efficiency and performance of your engine and avoids decreased manoeuvrability, even at slow speeds. Antifouling is what the team at Antifouling Gurus do best. We've been antifouling boats from Sydney Harbour to Pittwater for over 12 years and have a track record to be proud of.
Many people ask us "why should I antifoul every year?" and our answer is always the same. If your boat remains in the water for more than a week at a time, then you require antifouling. Without antifouling your hull will become a breeding ground for all types of marine life, weeds, barnacles and more. Keeping your hull clean increases the efficiency and performance of your engine and avoids decreased manoeuvrability, even at slow speeds.
