Zinc Anodes



Zinc anodes play a critical role in preventing galvanic corrosion, which can damage your boat’s hull, propellers, and metal components below the waterline. Regular inspection and replacement of these sacrificial anodes ensure your vessel stays protected and performing at its best.


Why Zinc Anodes Are Essential:

  • Prevents Corrosion – Protects metal parts by attracting electrical currents that cause deterioration.
  • Extends Lifespan – Helps maintain the integrity of your boat’s hull, propellers, and underwater fittings.
  • Cost-Effective Protection – Replacing anodes is far cheaper than repairing corroded parts.


Prop Repair & Install



Keep Your Vessel Running Smoothly...

A damaged or inefficient propeller can reduce performance, increase fuel consumption, and cause unnecessary strain on your engine. Whether your prop needs minor repairs or a full replacement, our expert services ensure optimal efficiency, speed, and maneuverability for your vessel.


Signs You Needs Attention:

  • Vibration & Noise – Unusual shaking or sounds indicate propeller damage.
  • Reduced Speed & Efficiency – A worn or bent prop can impact fuel efficiency and performance.
  • Cavitation or Slipping – Poor acceleration or difficulty maintaining speed may signal a prop issue.
  • Visible Damage – Dents, chips, or bent blades should be addressed immediately.
