A Marine Meter designed for the assessment and investigation of moisture contained within fiberglass and wooden structures. Detect Osmosis before gel coat blistering becomes a visual reality. Monitor hull dryness for repairs and painting. Identify and trace leaks. Uses non-destructive, capacitance method, measuring electronically up to 1 inch deep.

Two Year Limited Warranty. Uses a common 9v Battery as its long lasting power source. Recalibration may be accomplished precisely and with ease using the furnished acrylic calibration block and copper panel. When conducting marine surveys the non-destructive feature makes the GRP-33 especially well suited for appraisal work, damage inspection, and repair procedures. Because the meter will readily detect water well below the surface of the wood or fiber-glass, even qualitative readings are of great value in locating moisture, hidden water pockets and leaks. Just move the sensing pad from spot to spot in order to reveal abnormal areas which may require further detailed inspection. Woodwork, such as shipwright carpentry, may be examined without damage, to reveal the likelihood of rot. The Marine Moisture Meter GRP 33 is recommended for use by Surveyors, Boat Yards, Yacht Brokers, Marine Coating Cos., Yacht Designers, Marine Repair Specialists, Boat Owners and the Lumber Industry.

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

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.
