Patching the hull of a boat in the water

- We had a person contact us about vibration on his starboard prop. After inspection 2 blades from his prop were gone and one of the blades did damage to the hull, leaving a gash about 5 inches long and a half inch deep. I use a product called Splash Zone to patch the hull. Splash Zone is a 2 part product that sets up in no time and cures in about 12 hours. I have saved many a boat from going down with it. Even the ones I raise after they sink gets this stuff depending on the situation. Hope you enjoy the video. Its my first edit of a video so be patient.

I found a Home Depot gift card with $50 on it and a Lowes card with like $45 on it a few months back. Talk about treasure. :) Thanks for watching.
Excellent video. I always wondered how soft or malleable the product was as applied. Your hand worked better than any tool in applying and finishing the patch. Also kudos on the camera work. Good breath control made this underwater video worth watching.
The bubbles scared the shit outta me.. thought it was a giant fish or shark getting you
Sometimes they freak me out at night ...lol.
I kept holding my breath.. good work, was waiting for you to find some sunglasses on the bottom.
Splash zone epoxy from pro line paints San diego , Cal. used this stuff for over 40 years as a commercial diver. greetings from Panama
Good job Roy, looks like JB weld, I've used similar stuff but not under water. Cool.
dude nice fix!!!! bad spot to have a hole lol is a big boat like a small boat as in I had a 14' aluminum boat and it would rain I would back it out get moving a bit then pull the plug lol allthe water sucks out so you don't have to pump it lol dad told us that as kids
How would you fix a very large hole in the hull underwater? Add planks then seal the edges with this?
Careful with the bubbles it can lift the epoxy. You can used this stuff on steel, glass or wood hulls. Marine Repairs and Salvage, inc. at the Panama canal.
Yep I've learned that one. . I'd love to see panama canal.
Two questions
1. Can I use this for fiberglass hull?
2. Can I use this for a large vessel, like a tugboat?
This boat was fiberglass . You can use thos stuff on anything .
I've even used it on a 70' concrete boat
Hey, thanks for sharing. What product is it??
changed out the wheel as well using a belly line and knocker wrench ,We patched a couble holes in the lcm before putting it on railway towing it from the keys etc.
In Trinidad we call it Labicoat....I use it to patch our fire trucks water tanks.
I don't think it's food grade though careful.
good to know, I didn't realize "splash zone" was the name of the product lol, shows how smart I am.
Can I use this to plug a through hole and how long will this last ?
Thanks

Yes you can . As far as how long it will last I guess it depends on hole size . This stuff dries like concrete so it should last a very long time.
@@frogman319 will this work on concrete that has a hole leaking water? Patch and plug doesn't set fast enough and it just washes away
what's the material called ? it's very interesting
E.Shahidy it's called Splash Zone . It's a two part putty like substance that is designed for this type of work. This boat still has the same patch on it without fail and they use their boat et very week.
I dont even have a boat but thank you
I'll get this editing down if it kills me...LOL. its pretty similar to JB weld. if you know of anyone with a boat and it needs a patch Splash Zone is great. it can be a permanent fix on some applications.
I would rather replace zincs than props and shafts 😉👍👍🇺🇸
Right there with you. 👍
I am having same problem in my boat
Could you please tell me the name of the product you used
The product is called splash zone . It's a 2 part epoxy . One is yellow and the hardener is black. If combined right it will be the green color. Best to use warm water to dampen to mix it but not necessary. I usually just dig out the amount I need to cover and mix it underwater . The boat i put this on still has it on . He never hauled out to fix it . That shows you how tough this stuff is .
@@frogman319 thanks Sir
Could you please refer me some online website where I can buy this stuff

Hey thanks for the sub. I guess Jay Mo sent you a check to subscribe to me. LOL I ran a boat out of Galveston for a few years ran over a rope off a barge, it bent the port screw and shaft. Oh those were the days. Looks like you got the perfect set up for swinging a Excalibur.
does it work for wood
Yes it works great for wood .
where do u get that at
Online
Have you ever used "hydraulic cement" like waterplug inside a sack in an emergency? I remember seeing stories of warships during WW II being filled with concrete to avoid a stint in a shipyard.
stanthology I personally have not done that. I've used a lot of materials to keep a boat from sinking or raising boats. Another great combination to use for a quick fix to plug hokes are toilet wax rings and cheese cloth. There are many tricks out there .
Diver Below I can see how the wax would make
complete sense as soon as the idea is presented! Thanks.
@@frogman319 Man for the sake of humanity please tell us more, I'd love to be able to keep my boat from sinking in more than one way depending on teh circumstances and the material at hand. I am actually looking into splash zone because I saw it kept a yacht from sinking when it looked the case was beyond desperate, I am definitely going to get some as a guest of honor on my boat.
@@bengrizzlyadams6187 there are a lot of things you can buy fairly cheap and keep on your boat. I recommend getting a couple of the normal need footbslld. They are great for plugging holes especially your exhaust. Simple toilet wax coated on cheese cloth makes a great plug. The splash zones is great. There are some tapes that cure underwater like steel really fast too. But definitely recommend the splash zone and cheese cloth to keep on bosrd. Even the drywall mesh tape cam be handy for cracks too.
Diver Below great stuff thanks for your quick answer
Is it safe to say. All boats have a ton of patches?!?😮😮
Sorry guy's I have no experience on boat life
FIRST... EVER...
