Propeller Work

Propeller Work
Damaged propellers cause undue stress on driveline components and decrease efficiency in boats and ships of all sizes. SDS can inspect, adjust and/or replace your boats prop, eliminating the time consuming and oftentimes costly process of having your boat removed from the water. If needed, your prop can be reconditioned or replaced depending on your need and preference. SDS can also clear your fouled prop to keep you moving. In addition to physical inspection, we also provide immediate on-site photographic documentation of damage to your gear.

No matter the type of vessel, it will always benefit from a clean hull and driveline components. SDS uses a variety of techniques to clean your vessels hull depending on the severity of the fouling. Keep your hulls, rudders, trim tabs, transducers, and speed wheels clean to maintain top performance, efficiency, comfort, and appearance. We can also remove debris such as vegetation, lines, cables, etc, from your fouled prop and running gear.

Anodes
Don’t let your boats crucial components corrode. Keep electrolysis under control.

This maintenance is important if your boat spends extended amounts of time in the water.
