	What We Clean?
	RUNNING GEAR: Clean propellers, shafts, struts, trim tabs, rudders, through hulls, transducers, knot logs, and inspect zincs. WATERLINE: Clean from top of boot stripe down to hard chine and approximately two feet down where there is no chine. HULL: Inspected, maintained and cleaned as needed.
Why Clean The Bottom?
The running gear is cleaned because it collects barnacles due to the bottom paint not adhering and reaction of the metal to the paint. Through hull fittings are cleared to prevent engines from overheating and intakes and outlets from becoming clogged with barnacles. The waterline is cleaned because it collects grass and heavy algae each month due to sunlight exposure. The rest of the hull usually does not collect much algae because of the lower amount of sunlight it receives. The small amount of algae that does collect usually cleans itself off when the boat is moving 12 knots or more. We will inspect the hull each time, and if it appears that it will not clean itself, we will clean the hull as well.
