    We are often asked why a marine survey and boat surveys vary in price and content. Well its generally not always a case of you get what you pay for and we recommend that you consult our guide Buyer Beware at http://www.boatcareyachtsurveys.co.uk/buyer-beware-boat-professional-surveyor.htm for information on choosing a boat surveyor or visit the YDSA the Yacht Designers and Surveyors Association web site.

    At Boatcare Boat Surveys you are always welcome and encouraged to attend the survey and sea trial if at all possible. We are confident that our boat surveys are detailed, accurate, informative and useful and present a fair and balanced view of the vessel. Attending the survey will give you a greater understanding of the boat, and a detailed knowledge of the findings and recommendations per the survey report and we can always discuss far more items and questions than we could ever write in a report.

    Disappearing Sterndrives found on a Sunseeker Survey. Get your anodes right.

    Monday, April 6th, 2009

    Boatcare Yacht Surveys were called to a problem on a Sunseeker that Boatcare had previously surveyed, the stern drives had suffered significant corrosion and now needed to be replaced at considerable cost. This had happened in a matter of  weeks and at first the cause was a mystery. We tested the boat, the electrical systems, the mooring, the water, the piles, the river bed and then the anodes – the machinery had been just serviced and freshwater magnesium anodes fitted instead of salt water zinc anodes. The result accelerated degradation from corrosion and two new stern drives.

    Always check your anodes are suitable for the home mooring water conditions – Salt = Zinc. Brackish = Alluminium. Fresh = Magnesium.  If in doubt, contact Boatcare Yacht Surveys.
