SeaPen FAQ
Is my boat really out of the water?
SeaPen features a special polymer skin that isolates your boat from the water surrounding. Our patented Rope Mesh technology creates an air space all the way around the hull and running gear of your boat. Yes, your boat is out of the water when dry-docked in a SeaPen.
Can I flush my motors in the SeaPen?
Keeping your motor performing in top condition is vital and in order to do this, it’s best to flush your motor after each use. This process is easy in a SeaPen; you can either attach flushing muffs or better still, you can part-fill the SeaPen with fresh water until it’s above the motor intakes and then simply idle the motor in neutral.
Why shouldn't I antifoul my boat?
Antifouling is a product intended to inhibit marine growth and is formulated with toxic copper, organotin compounds, or other biocides. Antifouling doesn’t stop marine growth from occurring in the long-term and decreases your boat performance when applied.
Furthermore, it has to be removed and re-applied on a regular basis. All this leads to a significant outlay of time and money with few benefits that improve your boating lifestyle
SeaPen is the market-leading alternative. By dry-docking your boat at water level in a SeaPen, you eliminate the risk of marine growth occurring on your boat. This allows you to keep a gel-coated boat at water level, without fear of it being damaged by marine life.
SeaPen’s advanced dry-docking technology means every time you take your boat out, it will perform like new with a growth-free hull for maximum efficiency. Not antifouling your boat will also help maintain the boat’s market resale value
Never Antifoul Again. Ever.
Can I walk on the SeaPen?
Whilst you should always take care walking on a water-bound object, the SeaPen has been designed to support your weight. You can walk on the frame, skin and rope mesh providing you take care.
What does the green rope mesh do?
SeaPen’s patented rope mesh is crucial to the dry-docking process and serves 3 primary functions.
1. It creates an air gap between the hull of the boat and the skin of the SeaPen – the crucial ventilation stage in the dry-docking process.
2. It protects the SeaPen skin from the sharp points of the boat; propellers, trim-tabs etc.
3. It gives the SeaPen structural strength, with a breaking strain of 76,000 kg per square metre.
How long has the SeaPen been around?
The first SeaPen prototypes were installed in the mid 1990’s and full-time production commenced in 2004. Since then, over 2,500 SeaPens have been installed across Australia and the rest of the world.
What maintenance is required?
There is very little maintenance involved with the SeaPen. The key points are:
1. Rinse fresh water through the SeaPen. Every time you rinse down your boat, it will rinse fresh water through the SeaPen
2. There is a sacrificial anode attached to the SeaPen bilge system that needs checking and periodically replacing.
3. We recommend annual preventive services to extend the life of the SeaPen.
Can my SeaPen be insured?
With potential storms around it’s important to know that SeaPen’s can be insured. Most major insurers list them as an accessory to your boat. Contact us on (+61) 7 5580 4465 if you need help locating your serial number to insure your SeaPen.
