Prop removal in Pompano Beach is done underwater by our divers, with the boat tied up at its dock or slip. F&J does the repair and the prop goes back on. If it hit something at Hillsboro Inlet, tell us where.
A diver goes under the boat at your dock, takes the prop off the shaft and brings it up. The boat stays in the water. Repair work is done by F&J, the shop we send props to. When the prop comes back, we put it on again.
NOAA's Coast Pilot says the jetties at Hillsboro Inlet are submerged at the entrance channel, with rocky reefs north and south of the entrance lights. The Hillsboro Inlet District warns that moving sands reduce the depth. If your prop met any of that, tell us where it happened.
Our base is in Fort Lauderdale. The diver comes to the boat, wherever in Pompano Beach it is tied up. When you call, tell us the boat's length, where it is kept and whether it has one prop or two.
NOAA's Coast Pilot says the jetties at Hillsboro Inlet are submerged at the entrance channel. It reports rocky reefs running north and south of the entrance lights. The southern reef is reported to dry at its southern end at low tide. Tell us which side of the channel you were on when the prop hit.
The Hillsboro Inlet District posts depth soundings for the inlet with the date they were taken. It says the chart is not to scale and not intended for navigation. It also warns that moving sands reduce the inlet's depth. When you call, say whether the prop touched sand or rock.
FWC keeps a year-round Idle Speed No Wake zone at the Atlantic Boulevard bridge. It runs from shore to shore, starting 1,350 feet north of the bridge and ending 500 feet south of it. A boat coming home on a damaged prop is held to idle speed there like everyone else. Tell us which side of the bridge your dock is on.
We need to know where in Hillsboro Inlet the prop hit and which Pompano Beach dock the boat is at. NOAA says the jetties are submerged at the entrance channel and reports rocky reefs north and south of the entrance lights. Say which you think it was, and how the boat has run since.
No. The Hillsboro Inlet District says its depth chart is not to scale and not intended for navigation. Each set of soundings carries the date it was taken, and the District warns that moving sands reduce the depth. If the prop has already touched, our divers can take it off at your Pompano Beach dock.
Yes. In Pompano Beach the prop comes off in the water, with the boat still tied to its dock. If it needs repair, F&J does that before the prop goes back on. Tell us which dock, and which side of the Atlantic Boulevard bridge it is on.
Your prop goes to F&J for the repair. It comes off in the water at your Pompano Beach dock, and it is refitted there when F&J is finished. For damage done at Hillsboro Inlet, tell us whether the prop met rock or sand.
