The In-Water Mooring Station virtually eliminates bottom fouling without the need for bottom painting or hull scraping.
Four years experience with hundreds of customers from Australia to the Canary Islands. No matter how often a boat is moved or how long it is stored, barnacles do not grow on a boat in the Mooring Station. NOT ONE BARNACLE. No Fouling. No Fooling.
How does the In-Water Mooring Station work?
The Mooring Station isolates the water in contact with the boat hull from the surrounding water. This isolation prevents water flow, so oxygen and food sources are not replenished.

How does the In-Water Mooring Station work?
The Mooring Station isolates the water in contact with the boat hull from the surrounding water. This isolation prevents water flow, so oxygen and food sources are not replenished.
The Mooring Station floats in the water with an undershield that is below the props and keel. It has a rear tailgate that lowers to allow access; and rises to completely isolate the water in the Mooring Station. The boat floats inside the Mooring Station. The boat hull is clean and protected.
· Save Money – Experience has shown that today’s bottom paints last between 18 and 24 months in salt water, after which the paint has lost effectiveness, and the boat is hauled out, scraped, refinished, and repainted. Plus, while the boat is in the water, the hull may have to be scraped as often as 14 times a year by a diver to keep growth off the hull. This is an in-water operation which many states are now prohibiting. Keeping the hull clean costs from $50 to $100 per foot per year. Compared to bottom paint, the Mooring Station should pay for itself in 18 to 24 months.
· Higher Resale Value by 10% to 30% without bottom paint. Better Economy by 3% to 8% without bottom paint.
· No need for an expensive boat lift – Your In-Water Mooring Station will cost a fraction of a lift. You can install it yourself. Easy to move and remove whenever you want. It is not permanent. Simply tie it off to your dock or pier as you would your boat. Many marinas and Home Owner’s Associations prohibit lifts. Generally, no permit required.
· Safer for you and your boat – The In-Water Mooring Station will protect your boat hull from floating debris, garbage, slime, and fuel and oil spills. Cross winds and currents when you dock? Not a problem. The Mooring Station will help guide you into your slip. Worried about pulling up onto a floating lift? Never again. Your boat floats in the water – where it was meant to be. Forget about driving your boat onto a hard surface lift. Your boat is perfectly protected in the water.
· Suitable for all boats – Motor boats, sail boats, performance boats, pontoon boats, house boats, live-aboards, catamarans, and personal water craft – in fresh or salt water. Bottom painted boats benefit by eliminating hull scraping.
· Installs easily with minimal maintenance – Assembles in less than three man-hours. Not a permanent installation. Does not lift the boat. Does not require a licensed or certified installer. Clean the undershield as needed. Avoids most permitting and home owner association issues.
· Better for the environment – No toxic chemicals required. No need to drain or add water either. No more toxic bottom paint and no more hull scraping means less toxic chemicals in the waters, canals, boatyards and marinas. Better for marinas. Better for waterways. Better for you.
