Why should you seek antifouling services for your vessel in Queenscliff?

Waterz Edge provide professional antifouling for clients in Queenscliff and closely surrounding areas, as part of our comprehensive maintenance services for marine vessels of all types and sizes, but what exactly is antifouling? Why is it important and what are the benefits of having this service conducted by an experienced professional on a regular basis?

Antifouling refers to the important process of applying a coat of paint to the hull of the boat that protects the vessel against biofouling, also known as the harmful accumulation of organisms and marine plant life such as algae, barnacles and seaweed. When the bottom of a vessel becomes infected with this build-up of microorganisms, various systems of the boat can become compromised, such as the engine, propellers, running gear and even fuel consumption.

The way that antifouling works is through the active biocides that exist inside the paint, and that when applied to the hull of the vessel, leach out over time and restrict the growth of these harmful microorganisms.

We at Waterz Edge encourage clients to have their vessels anti-fouled on a regular basis in order to avoid unwanted costly repairs and to keep the boat running as best as it can, all year round. Our team are experts in the trade and have the specialised knowledge to ensure that your vessel is in the best possible state prior to re-entering the water.
