The present invention relates to a device for prevention of fouling of boat bottoms and other floating objects, said device consists of a flexible, mat like member intended to be positionally fixated to the bottom of the boat or another floating object in question with the aid of suitable fastening means, wherein the flexible, mat like structure consists of a mat (2), which after having been driven up onto by a boat hull over the same, is pressed upwards in a direction towards the boat hull bottom into close contact therewith. The mat (2) consists of a resilient, floating material such as plastic tubes with closed ends or, alternatively, rope or homogeneous cord (3) having a lower density than water and which mutually form a grid pattern (4) with a mesh size adapted to the desired lifting power over the entire surface of the mat (2), which is intended for contact with the boat bottom of the floating object in question so as to conform to the shape of the bottom of the boat by means of the water pressure and which grid pattern (4) between the tubes (3) allows the abrased waste of vegetation to easily penetrate through the mat (2) to sink down to the bottom without adhering to the minimal surface of the mat (2), whereby ongoing contact and movement created by the mat through its resilient and floating construction against the surface of the object prevent organisms from starting to grow when the object is driven up onto the mat. |
