The GRP-33 Moisture Meter, is designed for the detection of wetness in fiberglass and wood. Comes packed in a soft sided compartmentalized instrument case. The dial face, analog meter indicates moisture levels in fiberglass up to 3% and in wood up to 30%. Calibration may be checked quickly with the provided test block and, resetting is easily accomplished in no more than 2 minutes. When conducting marine surveys the non-destructive feature makes the GRP-33 especially well suited for appraisal work, damage inspection, and repair procedures. The meter will readily detect water well below the surface of the wood or fiber-glass, so even qualitative readings are of great value in locating moisture, hidden water pockets and leaks. Move the sensing pad from spot to spot in order to reveal abnormal areas which may require further detailed inspection.

Comments about JR Overseas Wood and Composite Moisture Meter:

great for checking the moisture content of a fiberglass hull before repairs are completed so you dont trap water in the laminate. No need to drill access holes

Comments about JR Overseas Wood and Composite Moisture Meter:

We had strange looking spider cracks in our newly painted hull. We do not have a core. We thought out boat was failing when we asked the fiberglass repair person at our marina. We bought the meter and checked our hull against all the other hulls in the marina and found ours was somewhat in the middle of moisture. The meter was complete as it gave us information on how to use, etc. We are now using it to monitor our newly repaired deck, to stay on top of moisture leakage. We sleep much better at night.

Comments about JR Overseas Wood and Composite Moisture Meter:

A moisture meter is a great preventative and diagnostic tool. Leaks can develop around deck fittings at any time, at any location. Most boats today have a core in the deck and often in the hull. Most have balsa core that is vulnerable to water damage. If deck fittings aren't rebedded from time to time they can allow water to find a way to the core. If left uncorrected many $$$ worth of damage can result. Proper use of a moisture meter can detect such leaks early on and save lots of grief.
