One Corroded Fitting Can Sink Your Reputation
When Repair Yard A installed “bargain” anodes on a client’s new propeller shaft, they thought they’d saved 15% on materials. Three weeks later, that shaft failed, triggering an emergency haul-out and costing the yard its entire fleet contract.
Unchecked corrosion isn’t just your client’s problem. It becomes your legal, financial, and reputational burden.
- The Warranty Trap You process a returned pallet of shaft anodes, each coated in a hard, passive crust – watch your margin vanish. Even worse, your client starts doubting every part you supply.
2. The Reputation Drain Whispers spread at the marina: “That yard’s work doesn’t last.” “They must be cutting corners.” Premature failures erode trust in your brand and your skills alike.
3. The Downtime Domino A commercial fishing boat misses its season opener when a cheap anode corrodes the stern gear. Its furious owner isn’t just off the phone – they’re warning peers to avoid your yard.
4. The Ultimate Liability Industry experts agree that corrosion is a leading cause of marine failures. A failed thru-hull or steering component can spark accidents, legal claims, and a liability trail straight back to you
