Inspecter les hélices, le système de propulsion ou le dessous de la coque

There are various systems for inspecting the underside of the hull, or anything else underwater. Sometimes you’ve hooked the bottom, or you suspect a malfunction.

Here are a few gadgets to help you make a diagnosis:

You can even have a mini scuba tank to do it yourself, but only for about 10 minutes of autonomy and always under a maximum depth of 10 feet.

   

 

 

This is the LUNG system (above), but there are also SCOREL, SCORKL, SMACO and MINIDRIVE brands.

But this little scuba tank is not recommended as a recreational diving accessory. Autonomy is very relative, the gauge that indicates the state of the tank is difficult to read and filling is, shall we say, rudimentary.

 

     

The Gladius mini drone is also excellent for observing what’s under the boat, especially if it’s connected by a wire (less expensive).

 

 

 

There’s also a mini camera at the end of a DEPSTECH wire, simple, rudimentary and very inexpensive. What’s more, it can be used inside the boat, in the hold for example, to gain access to difficult places.

They’re all on sale in various boat shops, and you can also check the Amazon.ca website for price references. We suggest, however, that you buy local for advice and service.
