The Anti-Vort riser wrap is designed to suppress vortex formation by utilizing three spiral strakes which redistribute water force, eliminating vortex for- mation and accompanying vibra- tion.

Two-year protection is available with the use of Drew Marine's original Magnakote rust preventive. By penetrating rusted surfaces to form an electrochemical bond to the base steel, both products inter- March, 1997 act with oxides to prevent further corrosion. The chemical barrier created by this bonding action also acts as a descaler on existing rust. The corrosion inhibitors are applied at a thickness of 75 microns, and cure to a transparent film which makes the underlying steel clearly visible. To maximize product effective- ness, Drew Marine offers the Life Preserver Program which provides initial shipboard inspections and, following product application, peri- odic follow-up inspections.
