Extended service life of the boat
Professional antifouling protects the surface of the boat from harmful growths such as algae, mussels, and barnacles. Preventing growth reduces the risk of corrosion and osmosis, which increases the boat's service life.
Improving efficiency and performance
Fouling on the hull can increase water resistance, resulting in reduced speed and maneuverability. Antifouling prevents this fouling, allowing the boat to maintain its optimal performance. This can also reduce fuel consumption, leading to cost savings and a lower environmental impact.
preservation of value
A clean, well-maintained hull helps to preserve the value of the boat. Professional antifouling ensures that the hull remains in good condition, which can enable a higher selling price when the boat is eventually sold.
environmental protection
Antifouling can help reduce the spread of invasive species by preventing organisms from attaching to the hull of the boat and being transported from one body of water to another. Professional antifouling paints use environmentally friendly coatings that minimize environmental impact while providing effective protection.
This is the procedure for the
Antifouling Service
A professional antifouling service is essential to maintain the performance, longevity, and value of a boat.
Here is an overview of the various steps involved in an antifouling service:
Take the boat out of the water
First, the motorboat is lifted out of the water using a boat lift or slipway and placed on a suitable work surface. Care must be taken to ensure that the boat is positioned securely and stably to avoid damage.
Inspection and cleaning
Next, the hull of the boat is thoroughly inspected to assess the condition of the existing antifouling coating and any damage or deposits. The hull is then cleaned with high-pressure cleaners or special cleaning agents to remove dirt, algae, and other organic deposits.
surface preparation
Before applying the new antifouling coating, the surface of the hull is carefully prepared. This may involve sanding down the old antifouling layer, repairing any damage, or applying a primer. Preparing the surface is crucial to ensure that the new coating adheres properly.
Choosing the type of antifouling
The appropriate type of antifouling is selected depending on the specific requirements of the boat and the environmental conditions. Factors such as the type of water (saltwater or freshwater), the speed of the boat, and environmental regulations play a role here. Environmentally friendly antifouling options may be preferred in order to minimize environmental impact.
Applying the antifouling coating
The selected antifouling coating is applied according to the manufacturer's instructions. To ensure even and durable coverage, several coats must be applied. Sufficient drying time must be allowed between coats. The drive, propeller, and other underwater parts of the boat can also be treated to provide comprehensive protection against fouling.
Quality control and drying
After applying the final coat, a thorough quality control check is carried out to ensure that the antifouling has been applied correctly and evenly. The boat must then be allowed to dry sufficiently before being returned to the water. The drying time varies depending on the product and environmental conditions.
launch a boat
Once the antifouling has dried completely, the boat is lowered back into the water. Care must be taken to ensure that no damage or scratches are caused to the fresh coating. Once the boat is in the water, it should be checked for possible leaks or other problems to ensure that it is ready for use. Now the motorboat can be used to its full extent again, protected by a professional antifouling coating.

The frequency with which antifouling must be applied depends on various factors, such as the type of antifouling coating, the environmental conditions, and the use of the boat.

Yes, there are environmentally friendly antifouling options, known as biodegradable or self-polishing antifouling coatings. These products slowly release their active ingredients and erode evenly, minimizing environmental impact. They often contain fewer toxic or environmentally harmful substances and are a good alternative to conventional antifouling coatings.
Although it is possible to apply antifouling yourself, it is advisable to leave this task to a professional. Professional providers have the experience and knowledge to ensure that the surface is properly prepared and the coating is applied correctly. This guarantees that the antifouling will have a long-lasting and effective effect, maximizing the performance and protection of the boat.
