ANTIFOULING

A pinnacle of your boat care and maintenance, antifouling can often be done incorrectly, or not well enough to achieve the desired results. If your boat will be staying on the water, or living on its trailer, we can offer an antifouling solution to suit your needs. Working with top of the line materials and techniques, our service is second to none.

We start by thoroughly cleaning and sanding the hull to remove any organisms that may be living on there already, and then look at applying premium primers to prep your hull for antifouling. Propellers are specifically antifouled with coatings specially developed to be applied to aluminium surfaces. This ensures a quality finish and an end result that you’re happy with.

We also offer a full hull scrapback service/sand blasting when antifoam build up has become excessive, which can lead to general deterioration of your vessel’s hull. All work is carried out from our Hobsonville workshop, but our team can travel to other boat yards in the Auckland area to carry out some Antifouling work.

A pinnacle of boat care and maintenance, antifouling is a must-do on any vessel. If done incorrectly, or not done at all, this can lead to marine life building up on your boat hull and affecting the structure. It can also make steering your vessel more difficult and cause it to drag.

Whether your boat will be staying on the water or living on a trailer, we can offer an antifouling service in Auckland to suit your needs. Working with top of the line materials and techniques, our boat antifouling solution is second to none.

At Nautique Ltd, we used specialised antifouling paints from Azko Novel, Altex, PPG, Resene, Warpaint, and Seahawk during our antifouling process. We are registered applicators of Propspeed for aluminium underwater metal/running gear. For propellers, rudders, trim tabs, and shafts we can apply Oceanmax Propspeed to keep these systems running smoothly.
