Customer Testimonials & Case Studies

“We've taken our vessel through a variety of waters - saltwater, freshwater, and even tropical climates - and F2 has performed flawlessly everywhere. No degradation, no loss of effectiveness, just consistent protection and performance. Highly impressed!

“As a yacht owner, I've tried countless coatings, but F2 stands out. The hull stays cleaner for longer, and the eco-friendly benefits are a huge plus. I will be using this from now on.

“After applying F2, we noticed immediate improvements. No more heavy scrubbing, and the protection lasts much longer than anything else we've used. A must-have for any boat owner.

“I have to admit, I was amazed. The boat sat at its mooring for six months, and I found only a very thin layer of slime and a few small crustaceans on the F2 surface. Using clean, soapy water and a soft brush, I removed the slime and crustaceans in about 10 minutes - a fantastic result with minimal effort!

“From the very beginning, I was honestly impressed by its effectiveness against fouling. There was some slime buildup, but it could be brushed off from the dock in seconds, leaving the propellers looking brand new.

“Since obtaining the product and applying it to the boat, the application by roller was easy and smooth... When I was doing the job I rang Keith (the distributor) on a few occasions and he was always there advising me - so helpful and a pleasure to deal with. Anyone using this product is in good hands. I really can't give sufficient praise. Thank you.

“I recently pulled a friend's fishing boat out after about 50 hours of use with F2 applied. The coating looks as good as the day it was applied - in perfect condition with absolutely no wear. We'll check again after another 50 hours, but I'm extremely excited about this product.

“Our observations showed that any fouling that formed during the curing period was extremely easy to remove. Over time, the performance of the coating improved significantly. After ~6 months in the water, the coated surfaces were completely free of fouling.

“Ocean Coatings is a company which has a strong customer focus. The product offers the opportunity for boat owners to improve the protection available for drive systems and gear. This year I used it on the main propeller, bow and stern thruster props, the prop shaft and trim tabs. The instructions were clear and easy to follow and the pack contains all that is necessary to complete the task.

“Last season I used Prop-Defender on my 6-year-old Sealine's duo-props after seeing it reviewed in a magazine. Previously, barnacle growth after mere days had been driving me mad. Compared to other products I tried, the two simple extra steps were quickly and easily followed. The top coating looked great on the propellers... I was blown away by its effect on growth. There was slime buildup but this just brushed off in seconds leaving the props good as new.

“Hi, I'm the owner of vessel ‘Starburst', which was recently lifted out after 12 months to inspect the F2 GOA coating applied in March 2023. I was honestly astonished - just a very thin film of slime and a few small crustaceans on the surface. I applied clean soapy water with a soft brush and removed them in about 10 minutes... The finish is a lovely dark sparkly blue - it's still fantastic after 12 months in the water. Both F2 GOA and OptiProp are game changers. Keith has been so helpful and a pleasure to deal with. I can't praise him enough.
