How to Clean and Protect Rudder, Flap and Propeller?

🔹 1. Pre-Cleaning and Surface Preparation

Algae, barnacles, rust and deposits are removed from the flaps, propeller and rudder under water or after the boat is towed ashore.

If necessary, the surface is completely purified using special brushes and chemical cleaners.

🔹 2. Anti-Corrosion Coating Application

Special protective materials are applied to metal surfaces to prevent oxidation and rusting.

These coatings increase resistance to the negative effects of seawater.

Antifouling Paint and Coating Application (Optional)

Special antifouling paints that prevent algae and mussel formation are applied to the surface.

This keeps the surface clean and slippery for longer.

🔹 4. Final Control and Performance Test

After all operations are completed, rudder and propeller mobility is checked.

What is Rudder, Flap and Propeller Cleaning and Protection?

Rudder, flap and propeller cleaning and protection is the process of cleaning the moving parts of marine vehicles under water, removing biological formations (algae, mussels, shell organisms) and protecting them with special coatings. This treatment improves the performance of marine vessels, while reducing fuel consumption and extending the life of mechanical components.

✅ Saves Fuel by Reducing Friction

Friction is reduced by removing algae, mussels and other marine organisms that accumulate on the surface.

Increased engine efficiency and reduced fuel consumption with less resistance

✅ Prevents Corrosion and Rust

Minimizes the risk of rusting and oxidation that may occur on metal surfaces.

Special protective coatings ensure that the surface remains durable for a long time.

✅ Provides faster and more efficient maneuverability

With rudder and flap cleaning, the boat can make more precise and faster maneuvers.

Speed and performance are increased by allowing the propeller to operate at full power.

✅ Prevents Mussel and Algae Attachment

Special antifouling coatings prevent the surface from being covered by dirt and biological organisms.

✅ Long Lasting Mechanical Parts

The mechanical parts of the rudder, flaps and propeller are protected, ensuring trouble-free operation for many years.
