SeaBis saves boat owners thousands of dollars

by Angelika Koop on 23 Aug 2008 Podean Electronic Industries Pty Ltd the Australian manufacturer of the SeaBis Electrolysis Corrosion Prevention Systems, announces that global boat owners purchasing and installing a SeaBis System are saving thousands of dollars on electrolysis corrosion maintenance and repairs to their boats annually.

According to Glen Bishop engineer and Director of the Seabis Systems, one recent boat owner after spending $40,000 on electrolysis corrosion damages to his houseboat, has prevented any further damage occurring due to the total elimination of the stray current that was the cause in the first place.

Mr Bishop goes on to explain, ' the reason the SeaBis Electrolysis Corrosion Prevention Systems are so effective is that they are the first in the market to detect and measure stray current and provide a stray current 'source and eliminate' process that once the stray current is no longer present stops electrolysis corrosion altogether.'

'As well as saving boat owners the cost of electrolysis repair and damage, if every boat, vessel and marina were fitted with a SeaBis System the levels of toxic waste metals to the seabed would be reduced by 50% or more.' Mr Bishop went on to say.

The SeaBis electrolysis corrosion prevention systems are the only one of its kind that are capable of preventing electrolysis corrosion as opposed to slowing it down or limiting it.

Industry trends indicate boat owners seeking a solution to marine corrosion is on the increase as cost of corrosion damage escalate from year to year. Research indicated that out of 472 boats slipped per month 82% suffered electrolysis corrosion of which 78% had electrolysis corrosion damage.

'All should have a SeaBis fitted' says slipway owner, Allan Beswick of Access Yachts. John Hanley from Luxury Yacht Refinishers Pty Ltd was quoted to say 'yes, all boats should be fitted with a SeaBis System, anyone solving this problem stands to take the forefront in anti corrosion solutions'. John slips around 25 boats per month.

Glen encourages all boat owners and marina owners who are seeking ways to prevent electrolysis corrosion damage and who want to reduce their repair and maintenance costs whilst taking care of our seabed should contact the SeaBis sales office on 61 2 4333 1996 or visit the website at http://www.seabis.net.
