The best way to treat corrosion is to prevent it! Ahab Marine Services offers in depth analytical

Our corrosion survey includes complete inspection of all parameters affecting corrosion - Slip pedestal,
AC and DC circuits, grounding, protective anodes, etc..

Condition and Value
Ahab Marine Services offers a complete inspection of your vessel and all it's equipment, we can also
include a sea trial.
The report is useful for pre-purchase assessment, insurance, appraisal, financing, etc.
Our analytical inspection breaks problems into three categories:
Required - Must repair = illegal or unsafe.
Essential - Should repair = affects the value of the boat and is out of current standards.
Desirable - Might repair = convenience or aesthetics.
We determine the vessel's current condition, its fair market value as it sits and after suggested
corrections.
All photo's from survey are included in our report and also provided on disc for your convenience.

Find hull layup voids, hull moisture, electrical problems, mechanical friction problems, etc. Non invasive,
great for preventative maintenance of mechanical parts before major friction damage is done
Damage Survey

requested, possible cause
