Propeller Polishing

A smooth, clean prop is essential for efficient thrust. Our divers remove barnacles and scale, then polish blades to reduce friction and improve acceleration. This service is a high-impact upgrade for boats that feel sluggish off the line or show higher-than-normal fuel burn. We work on fixed props, folding props, and IPS/inboard running gear.
