Mid season scrub

by shibbs » 05 Aug 2015, 22:20

I managed to get out for a few hours on Monday, although I knew I had a trail of weed from my prop (which I knew would disappear after a run, because of the fact that I can't bring myself to anti foul a shiner stainless prop) and a green hairy waterline, I didn't expect it to slow the boat so much so the decision was made that I would pull her out on the trailer and spend a day giving her a scrub up, inside and out.
Here's what was lurking below..

So, a good scrub with the pressure washer, which unfortunately took some of the antifoul back,

Followed by some fresh antifoul on hull and leg and ready to go back in..

A fairly rushed job because of time and tides, but certainly good enough to last the rest of the season before taking it all back and starting again. :x
This whole process made me think of two things, firstly, I'll be using a different antifoul next year as not impressed with this one, and secondly, how jealous I am of you dry stackers!! :D
On the bright side, weather for the weekend looks promising.. :shock: 8-)

Bet you worked your dangly bits off doing that job in a day. Looks half decent too.
How did you manage the underside with the rollers in the way?
