Propspeed DIY, Cleaning a Sailboat Bottom with a Hookah & the BEST Chain Hook (Patrick Childress12)

How to clean the Bottom of a Sailboat with a hookah, along with a DIY Propspeed review of Sea Breathe , and the Best chain hook which we have concluded is a Mantus Chain Hook! - Patrick Childress Sailing Tips and Sailing Videos #12 ....A hookah or Sea Breathe for boat work is absolutely necessary equipment for a cruising sailboat.....It can take hours to clean the bottom of a sailboat hull to get ready to sail on ecspecially without the best propeller paint like Oceanmax propspeed with extra foul release which we applied DIY in Malaysia in 2017. 2019..it’s still working great. This sailboat video specifically covers how to clean a sail boat hull underwater. More speed...with less fuel! Is their saying...we like that! Bottom painting a propeller requires the best propeller paint, and a good snuba or hookah unit like the Sea Breathe unit we have on sailboat Brick House. My personal opinion of Propspeed from Oceanmax, Sea Breathe hookah/snuba, is that it’s one of the tools on a sailboat every sailor must have. Also, we have found that the Mantus chain hooks are the best chain hook for sailboat, after trying a number of other chain hooks over the years. Propspeed made cleaning the sailboat prop a non event. We haven’t figured out how to keep the bottom of the boat clean yet, besides scrubbing it every few weeks with the Sea Breathe hookah.
At least with Propspeed, the propeller stays free from barnacles and growth, even if the bottom becomes fouled quite quickly. Cleaning ablative bottom paint can even be fun with a hookah and a boat bottom scraper, but someday we hope to find something that works. CoppercCoat is a bit too expensive for us, but we hope when our budget fees up a little bit more, that perhaps we can do a Coppercoat DIY application. I believe they do not allow this, but we are hoping to one day we can find a way to get ourselves a batch and do a “How To Apply Coppercoat yourself” video! That would save the money it costs to have it done professionally, and nobody is more concerned about doing it properly than the boatowner himself!
