Bilge Paint Application
In this article we explain why bilge paint application is necessary, which paints are used, surface preparation and application steps.
1. Why Is Bilge Paint Necessary?
The bilge is the lowest part of the boat, housing the engine, fuel tanks and bilge pump — constantly exposed to water, oil, fuel leaks and moisture. Without paint, rust, corrosion and odour problems develop rapidly. Bilge paint protects this area from water and chemicals, facilitates cleaning and prevents corrosion.

Bilge paint application is an investment protecting the overlooked but critical lower section of the vessel and reducing long-term maintenance costs. DR.YACHT includes bilge cleaning and epoxy paint application as part of standard maintenance programmes.
