The Tramex Skipper Plus is an upgraded version of the world's best known and successful non destructive moisture meter for boats, the Tramex Skipper.
Moisture can cause peeling and blistering of applied finishes and treatments,
newly applied finishes can fail prematurely if the wood it is applied to is not
sufficiently dry. Hidden or trapped moisture can lead to mold and biological
growth.
The Skipper Plus can be moved across the surface of the boat to moisture
survey in a fast and thorough manner, detecting moisture non-destructively
through paint and coatings on wood up to a depth of 1.25". The Skipper Plus
can also be used to detect leaks and trace them to source both above and below decks.
The Skipper Plus Moisture Meter is Used for:
Early detection before blistering appears
Identifying the affected area
Monitoring hull during de-humidification and repairs
Checking stripped or peeled areas for dryness prior to re-coating
Features:
Non-destructive detection and measurement of moisture in wooden boats, GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) boat hulls,
wooden parts, components, decks etc.
Three measurement ranges optimized for testing of different materials such as hardwood, GRP and surface moisture
Deep signal penetration to detect elevated moisture through most covering and coating materials and deep into the core of
composite hulls without having to damage or puncture the material being tested
External rubber electrodes in direct contact with material being tested for best sensitivity, repeatability and greater
depth of signal penetration
Wide range of readings for wood of 5 to 30% on hard wood scale and 0 to 100 on comparative scale for GRP and other materials
Large, clear, easy to read display giving meaningful readings
Hold function enables user to "freeze" the reading, useful when taking readings in awkward places where the meter face may
not be visible
High moisture audio warning tone that can be switched on or off
Automatic power cutoff switches "Off" when not in use to save Battery
Identify the presence of moisture osmosis in fiberglass hulls
Confirm if wooden boats are dry before painting or varnishing
Check if racing boats are carrying excess moisture weight
