Hey Lewis thanks for the information. We currently have a dutch barge out of water with a lot of rust preparation work ahead of us. Fertan sounds like a great product so thankyou again!

This is a great dive into the complexities of rust converters and epoxy coatings.
So many articles just scratch the surface and shy away from the difficult bits.
Good job!

Hi there
I am looking to purchase a 77″ tug boat which needs full restoration (no engine) into a ‘houseboat’. The boat is moored in Kent so I believe too far from yourselves and services but I was hoping to have a chat to get some more understanding on the renovation required and how much it is likely to cost.
Thanks in advance!

Looks like a great addition to the engine gauges. There is nothing nicer than identifying an overheating problem early before the engine high cooling water temperature alarm sounds an alert. Seawater cooling system failures are a common problem, and changing an impeller or unclogging the strainer is never a fun job at sea when the engine is super hot.
