Our dive crew is based in Fort Lauderdale and pulls boat props here underwater, at your dock or slip. A prop that needs work goes to F&J, then back on the boat.
The boat stays put. A diver goes under, pulls the prop and hands it up to the dock. A damaged prop goes to F&J for the repair, and back onto the shaft when it is done.
On the New River, NOAA's Coast Pilot singles out Tarpon Bend, 0.6 mile above the river mouth. The channel is narrow there, the currents are strong and the traffic is heavy. A diver under a boat on that bend works in that current, with boats going by. So tell us the exact dock.
We work in Bahia Mar, Marina Bay and Yacht Haven, and at docks behind homes. When you call, give us the marina and slip, or the street the dock is on.
NOAA's Coast Pilot puts Tarpon Bend 0.6 mile above the mouth of the New River. It says the channel is narrow there, with strong currents, and that heavy traffic can be expected. If your dock is on this bend, tell us exactly where the boat is tied up.
NOAA describes Bahia Mar as two divided basins and an outer wharf, south of the Las Olas Boulevard bridge. The dockmaster makes all berthing arrangements. Bahia Mar is one of the marinas our divers work in. Give us the slip number, or tell us the boat is on the outer wharf.
NOAA's Coast Pilot gives a rule for the commercial anchorage off Port Everglades. A boat may not anchor there with its propulsion unavailable unless the Coast Guard Captain of the Port approves first. A single-engine boat with its prop off cannot move itself. Bring it to a dock or slip and we pull the prop there.
Yes. We pull props at docks on the New River, Tarpon Bend included. NOAA describes that bend, 0.6 mile above the river mouth, as narrow, with strong currents and heavy traffic. Tell us the exact dock and which bank it is on, so the diver knows the spot before the visit.
Yes. Bahia Mar is one of the Fort Lauderdale marinas our divers work in, and the prop comes off with the boat in its slip. NOAA notes that the dockmaster there makes all berthing arrangements, across two basins and an outer wharf. Give us the slip number when you call.
No, not if that leaves the boat without propulsion, unless the Coast Guard Captain of the Port approves first. NOAA's Coast Pilot states that rule for the commercial anchorage off Port Everglades. Our divers pull props at docks and slips in Fort Lauderdale, so bring the boat in before the prop comes off.
F&J repairs the prop, and it returns to the boat when that work is finished. The removal and the refit are both done in the water. We are a Fort Lauderdale crew, and we do this in Marina Bay, Yacht Haven and Bahia Mar and at private docks.
No. The prop comes off underwater, so the boat stays at its Fort Lauderdale dock or slip. That is true on the New River, on the Intracoastal and in the marinas we work in here. The prop goes to F&J if it needs repair, and we refit it in the water too.
