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. Hidden or trapped moisture can lead to mold and biological growth. Detect moisture in wooden boats, GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) boat hulls, wooden parts, components, decks and more through paint and coatings up to a depth of 1.25". Also use to detect leaks and trace them to a 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
• Trace deck and bulkhead leaks
• Early detection before blistering appears
• Identify extent of moisture affected area
• Monitor hull during dehumidification
• Check stripped areas prior to re-coating
