Cleaning and care for the running gear that drives your boat.
Overview
A fouled propeller is one of the costliest things on a boat to ignore. Growth on the blades disrupts the water flow they depend on, and the result is lost speed, higher fuel burn, and added vibration that works against every bearing and seal downstream.
We clean props and running gear as part of underwater service, returning the blades to a smooth, true surface so they bite the water the way they were designed to. While we are there, we check the gear for the early signs that are far cheaper to catch underwater than to discover at haul-out: pitting, play, or marine growth in the wrong places.
What’s Included
Cadence
Propellers are cleaned alongside scheduled hull service, every four to six weeks for most boats. Vessels that run frequently benefit from attention on the shorter end of that range, since clean blades show up immediately in speed and fuel use.
Common Questions
Significantly. Even light growth on the blades disrupts the water flow a propeller relies on, costing speed and fuel and adding vibration. A clean prop is one of the most immediate, noticeable gains you can give a boat.
We clean running gear as part of underwater service, on the same cadence as the hull, so the whole underwater body of the boat stays in condition together. Standalone prop attention is available when a vessel needs it.
During service we watch for the visible signs of trouble: pitting, a bent or chipped blade, play in the shaft, or line wrapped at the hub. We flag anything that warrants a closer look or a haul-out. Catching it underwater is far less costly than discovering it later.
Other Services
Recurring hull cleaning that keeps growth in check, protects your bottom paint, and holds performance steady between haul-outs.
Inspection and replacement of the sacrificial anodes that protect your running gear and through-hull metals from galvanic corrosion.
Every hull service includes a visual inspection of the hull, running gear, and zincs, noted in your report. Deeper, dedicated inspections are available on request.
Guidance and coordination for bottom paint: knowing when the antifouling is spent, what to apply, and how to time the work around your season.
Above-the-waterline care that keeps the visible boat looking as well-kept as the hull beneath it, coordinated with your underwater service.
A from-the-water inspection of your dock: pilings, framing, lines and cleats, and the under-dock condition you cannot see from above. It is documented with notes and, where useful, photo and video.
When a phone, keys, sunglasses, a tool, or a winch handle goes over the side, we recover what a diver can locate and bring up by hand. This is light recovery, not salvage; if it takes more than two hands, we will point you to the right outfit.
