What we do

Everything below the waterline, handled.

Since 1979, Barney Cull's has kept boat bottoms clean and back-bay water moving in Huntington Harbour and the surrounding marinas. Hull cleaning, zincs, props, thru-hulls, bottom paint, and salvage for boat owners. Intake and flow-area cleaning for harbors and back bays. One diver, no haul-out, no surprises.

For boat owners

In-water service, no haul-out.

Every job below is done with the boat in the water, on a schedule that fits how you use it.

Monthly hull cleaning

Divers scrub the barnacles, grass, and slime off your bottom, running gear, and waterline on a set schedule. Growth never gets ahead of you, and your paint lasts longer for it.

Zinc & anode replacement

Anodes get checked on every visit and swapped before they wear through. Left too long, a spent zinc lets electrolysis eat at your running gear instead.

Propeller pulling & running-gear service

Props pulled, cleaned, and reseated in the water, along with shafts, struts, and running gear. No haul-out, no yard bill, no boat out of the water for days.

Underwater thru-hull replacement & installation

Thru-hulls replaced or installed below the waterline by the diver, on your regular visit, without dry-docking the boat.

Bottom painting

Fresh bottom paint applied to keep growth off and slow the next round of barnacles. Done right, it makes every cleaning after it faster and cheaper.

Underwater inspection reports & photos

Ask for a report and we hand back photos and notes on the condition of your hull, zincs, running gear, and thru-hulls, no diving of your own required.

Salvage & recovery

Dropped something over the side, or a boat went down at the slip? Call us. We retrieve dropped gear and recover sunk boats in the harbor.

For harbors & back bays

Intake & flow-area cleaning.

HOAs, marina and harbor management, and water districts call us to keep intake and flow areas clear. We pull the algae, aquatic weed, and sediment that build up and choke the circulation a back bay depends on.

Left alone, that buildup slows water movement through the whole channel. Cleared on a schedule, the water keeps moving the way it's supposed to.
