Special Edition / AGL Marine, all the solutions for a successful refit

For 30 years, AGL Marine has been distributing a complete range of refit and winterization products to professionals. Indeed, during the winter break, it is common practice to use products to maintain your boat. AGL Marine provides information on solutions for a successful refit.

Antifouling, now eco-responsible

After a season, the hull of your boat often shows some dirt. Antifouling remains the most effective response to prevent colonization. The Hempel and Seajet brands offer eco-responsible, biocide-free antifouling products that protect living structures while respecting marine life. Your sailing style will determine the most suitable antifouling (sailing speed, mooring location, frequency of use, water temperature...)

Remember to protect your propellers

Propellers are submerged areas that need to be protected from marine organisms and corrosion. Fouling leads to a loss of performance and a sharp increase in fuel consumption. The Propspeed, Seajet and Hempel brands offer high-performance systems that are easy to apply to propellers. Environmentally-friendly and non-toxic, these antifouling coatings prevent fouling of propellers, bases and flaps.

The polish for a perfect finish in every situation

Over time, your boat's gelcoat is subjected to external aggression (UV, hydrocarbons...). To maintain it, 3M offers a range of polishes that revive colors. There are three grades: light, medium and heavy, to be used according to the degree of oxidation of the gelcoat. The treatment is then protected with "Wax".

For unrivalled shine, opt for finishing systems that renovate and protect your aging gelcoat.

Paint, cosmetics for your boat

Applying paint to a hull can repair a snag, refurbish or improve the aesthetics of your boat.

For yachts and superyachts, Awlgrip is the paint of choice, but requires professional application. For private individuals wishing to carry out their own hull refit, AGL Marine recommends using the Epifanes range, which offers a quick and easy application system. A range of single- and two-component primers and lacquers to meet your needs in terms of color, gloss, durability and elasticity...

Varnish, annual maintenance

Epifanes is the undisputed leader in marine varnishes. Known for their simple systems, ease of application and incomparable gloss, these products are highly recommended.

UV-resistant varnishes for interior and exterior use, available in single- or two-component versions. Choose your alternative, from classic to ultra-modern.

Probes and lighting not to be underestimated

Whether probes or underwater lighting, these submerged elements are also subject to Fouling. And what could be more disappointing than to have a less accurate echo sounder or reduced lighting due to dirt? These areas require specific protection. The Propspeed brand offers antifouling coatings for probes with Foulfree and for underwater lights with Lightspeed. These products are easy to use and biocide-free to protect the marine environment.

Don't forget to protect yourself during the refit of your boat: gloves, overalls, goggles, mask...
