Professional Deck and Fittings Inspection ProcessAt
YachtService.me, we use a detailed, systematic approach to inspect and maintain your yacht’s deck and fittings:
1. Visual Inspection of the Deck- Checking for cracks, wear, or damage in the deck material.
- Identifying areas with water pooling or improper drainage.

- Verifying that bolts, screws, and seals are secure and free of corrosion.
3. Sealing and Waterproofing- Examining caulking and seals around fittings for cracks or leaks.
- Reapplying sealants to prevent water intrusion and damage.

- Identifying areas that require sanding, oiling, or recoating.
