Ahoy, fellow seafarers! At Dave's Dive Services, we're passionate about all things aquatic, especially when it comes to keeping your vessels safe and seaworthy. Today, we're diving deep into the importance of regular mooring buoy maintenance and why it's crucial for every boat owner to make it a priority.

Boats that remain in the water year-round in the Pacific Northwest require regular hull cleaning due to rapid marine growth. This newsletter outlines seasonal maintenance tips to keep vessels efficient and damage-free. It emphasizes the importance of hull cleanings every 1-3 months, along with routine inspections of propellers, zincs, and anti-fouling paint. Regular maintenance improves fuel efficiency, extends the boat’s lifespan, and ensures smooth operation. Dave’s Dive Services offers expert hull cleaning to help boat owners stay ahead of marine growth and avoid costly repairs. Schedule your next cleaning today!
