Boat Owners: Save Money With DIY Hull Cleaning | Underwater Hull Cleaning

In this video I share the technique I use to save money by carrying out underwater hull cleaning myself. The key here is the kind of paint used. Save yourself a fortune on haul-outs and keep your boat in use all year round! 🔔 SUBSCRIBE for more helpful videos on random subjects (It's FREE!) ➜ http://bit.ly/HelpfulVideosFromChris

If you apply a hard, copper and epoxy based paint like the one shown in the video, you can scrape with hard metallic scrapers to remove months worth of accumulated marine growth (Including hard growth such as barnacles which will simply 'peel' off with this kind of antifouling paint.) whilst removing virtually no paint. You can do this for years without having to have your boat hauled ashore. This strategy can therefore save you a fortune in the long run. (As well as help to keep you fit!)

**Please note, as a couple of viewers have pointed out in the comments section, when undertaking work like this it is prudent to wear ear plugs, as small marine creatures such as tiny crabs that you are displacing when cleaning your hull, might think that your ear is a nice place to set up home. I have to be honest with you, I have never worn earplugs doing this job, and I have never had this problem but I have heard of it happening to others so it is a sensible precaution to follow.**
