Growth and cleaning frequency
Twice-monthly cleaning is generally recommended from May through October. Excessive growth is charged at $150 per person, per hour. From May through October, boats reported with heavy or extreme growth between cleanings are billed hourly.
One-time or rush service is $150 per person, per hour, with a one-hour minimum. Boats not on at least a monthly schedule are treated as one-time cleanings. Growth and bottom-paint condition can affect the final price.
Inboard pricing is per propeller, per operation. Removing and reinstalling the same propeller counts as two operations.

How the price is calculated
Propeller diameter × shaft-size rate × number of removals and installations.
Example: two 20-inch props, removed and reinstalled, at $13/inch: 20 × $13 × 4 = $1,040.
Regular hull-cleaning customers
Customers on a regular Bottom Time hull-cleaning schedule receive 15% off in-water propeller removal and installation. This discount does not apply if you use your own repair shop.
Other propeller work
Outboards: $150 per propeller to remove; $150 to install.
Folding propellers: $22 per inch of diameter, per operation.
IPS & Zeus: $14 per inch of diameter, per operation.
For hauled-out boats or different propeller sizes on the same job, request a job-specific estimate. Propeller repair charges are separate; an estimate is sent for written approval before repairs.
Anodes are charged at the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for Zimar, Camp and Tecnoseal products.
Installation is $20 per anode, in addition to materials. Manufacturer and supplier prices can change; we will confirm current material pricing for your boat.
