Hull cleaning service log
A record of every hull cleaning: boat, paint and its age, the pad you used, whether you saw a paint plume, zincs, and the diver's BMP certificate. It gives owners proof of work and gives you an answer when a harbor asks how you clean. Print it blank for the dock, or fill it in here.

How this works
Days since painted = cleaning date − date last painted. The log flags any cleaning less than 90 days after painting, the wait Long Beach and Sacramento Marina set for new bottom paint.[1][2] Check the paint maker's instructions and your harbor's rules too.
It flags an observed paint plume, because a visible plume is prohibited in San Diego Bay[3] and Marina del Rey.[4] It notes when no BMP certificate is recorded: Marina del Rey requires BMP certification for every in-water hull cleaner[4], and the Port of San Diego keeps a training form for each permitted diver.[5] "Days since last clean" matches entries by boat name and slip. The state found that cleaning frequency and method both change how much copper reaches the water.[6]
