In fact, motor boats owners who’ve traditionally used hard racing anti-fouling will find that Seajet 031, 033, 034 and 039 give better results throughout the season without wearing through.And Seajet has been shown to be highly effective in all climates; from Norway,where it was voted Best Buy by two influential boating magazines, to the warm waters of the Mediterranean, where it’s become one of the most popular brands. How does the Seajet Self-Polishing mechanism work? ChugokuSeajet031, 033, 034 and 039areself-polishing(oreroding)anti foulings,whichreactwithseawatertogiveoptimumperformanceallthroughthesailingseason.Within just hours of launching, this novel anti-fouling starts to dissolve from theoutside, releasing biocide into the water at a carefully controlled rate. But there’s much more to it than this.Themovementofwateractuallyhelpstosmooththesurface,andconstantlyexposingafreshlayerofbiocidetotheoutsideworld.SothatSeajetAnti-foulingsworkjustaswellattheendoftheseasonasitdoesatthebeginning.Seajet Anti-foulings are also eco-friendly; so you can be sure that it protects theenvironment as well as your boat. Eventually though, most of the anti-fouling polishes away, and has to be replaced. Why use Anti-fouling? Anti-fouling your boat is never much fun, especially in winter. But it’s important if you want to keep your boat’s bottom clean.The seas around our coasts contain a mass of rudimentary animal and plant lifeforms, all competing for somewhere to live and grow. Known as plankton, these tiny organisms include the larvae of literally billions of barnacles, mussels and other sea creatures, together with seaweed spores from all around the world.Plankton is most concentrated around our coasts, and in harbours and estuaries,where agricultural run off and water from sewage treatment works provides a rich source of food on which these organisms can thrive. Indeed, plankton is often dense enough to be visible during the day, and can sometimes be seen glowing on really dark nights. Everything in the sea is bathed in this ‘soup’ of living matter, and can become badly fouled within just a few weeks unless protected by an effective anti-fouling.But apart from looking unsightly, heavy fouling makes your boat dangerously slowand difficult to manoeuvre in an emergency; which is no fun in heavy weather.
The advanced self-polishing mechanism of Seajet 031, 033 and 034 Anti-foulings meanthat only two coats are required for two years protection 26
