Special Care For Moored Boats
•
Whether moored in saltwater or freshwater, your boat will collect marine growth on its hull bottom.
•
This will detract from the boat’s beauty, greatly affect its performance and may damage the gel coat.
•
Periodically haul the boat out of the water and scrub the hull bottom with a bristle brush and a solution of soap
and water.
•
To help seal the hull bottom and reduce the possibility of gel coat blistering on moored
boats, apply an epoxy barrier coating.
•
The barrier coating should be covered with several coats of anti-fouling paint.
•
Many states regulate the chemical content of bottom paints in order to meet environmental
standards. Check with your local dealer about recommended bottom paints, and about the
laws in effect in your area.
