If moored in saltwater or fresh water, 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 gelcoat. There are two methods of slowing
marine growth:
•
Periodically haul the boat out of the water and scrub the hull bottom with a bristle brush and a solution of soap and
water.
•
The hull below the waterline was painted with anti-fouling paint by the factory. Occasionally you will need to
re-paint it with a good grade of anti-fouling paint.
NOTI C E
•
To help seal the hull bottom and reduce the possibility of gelcoat blistering on moored boats,
we recommend the application of an epoxy barrier coating, such as INTERLUX, Interprotect
2000E/2001E. 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.
