WHAT IS FOULING? 

Generally speaking bottom fouling is caused by the following:

 

• BARNACLES - Barnacles attach to boat bottoms to feed.
• SLIM - Slime produces a syrupy type medium in which algae settle.
• WEED - Weed can stay attached to the hull.

 

The amount, type and severity of fouling will vary due to;

 

• Water Quality.
• Water Temperature.
• Pollution.
• Speed of Water Flow.
• Shade.
• Water PH.

 

A dirty and fouled bottom will have a direct effect on your vessel's speed and efficiency.  Worse, if a vessel's bottom is not properly maintained, serious and costly hull problems can result.  Also, the vaule of the vessel is reduced. 

 

HOW TO MINIMIZE THE EFFECTS OF FOULING

 

A good well-maintained bottom goes a long way in reducing the effects of fouling.

 

The keys to a good bottom job are: Preparation, Quality Paint and Professional Application.  At New River Marina we offer brand name bottom paint including, Micron, Seahawk, Pettit, Trinidad, Bottom Kote, Ultra and marPro.      

 

WHICH TYPE OF COATING SHOULD I USE?

 

ABLATIVE ANTIFOULINGS:  Wears down like a bar of soap at a controlled rate, which results in always having fresh biocide at the surface of the paint.  There is no build-up of coatings that will eventually have to be removed from the surface.

 

HARD ANTIFOULINGS:  Hard epoxy resin technology provides a hard hull, which allows full season protection and scrubability for fast boats and boats that get serviced regularly by a diver.
