New products: A clean hull without getting wet
Jan 9, 2020
With the Davis Scrubbis Underwater Hull Cleaning Kit it’s easy to rid a boat of algae, grass, and other gunk without getting wet. It’s one boat accessory that pays for itself before the first season ends – a clean hull is 30% faster and 20% more fuel-efficient.
The 16″ wide cleaning head is made of a buoyant, foam-like material. Pushed down along the side of the hull, it floats back up, scrubbing as it passes. Its pliable shape gets into strakes, steps, and the corners around keels and rudders. For stubborn areas, the head flips to expose a rigid fin. While effective at removing scum, it’s gentle on expensive ablative, hard and hybrid coatings that are often scoured away with traditional methods. It’s a fast process: a 30′ boat can be cleaned in about 20 minutes.
The rugged aluminum handle telescopes from 43″ to 86″ for use from the deck, dock or dinghy. With the included 90° angled adapter and 43″ extension, Scrubbis reaches to the most remote underwater spots 12′ away.
For neglected hulls, the optional Groovy Scrubbis attachment is the answer. Its stiff bristles remove the most tenacious marine growth. The available Waterline Brush is narrower for focused cleaning and has three cleaning fins and a replaceable scrubbing pad.
The Davis Scrubbis Underwater Hull Cleaning Kit includes the cleaning head with curved tube, telescoping pole and extension, and sells for USD $149.99; Groovy Scrubbis is $64.99; and the Waterline Brush is $64.99.
