ACP, Active Corrosion Protection
Boats equipped with ACP (option) have a zinc anode
integrated in the ACP unit; see illustration. Replace the
anode when about 1/3 has corroded away.
Inspect the drive unit anti-fouling
Inspect the anti-fouling paint on the drive annually. All
steel and bronze surfaces, including propellers, should
be protected by anti-fouling paint for unpainted surfa-
ces. Follow the anti-fouling paint supplier's instructions
regarding how the paint must be used on the drive unit.
Do not apply coating in the groove (
A
) between the
drive unit and the hull or the plastic surface of the
exhaust cushion (
B
).
Painting the hull bottom
All paints containing anti-fouling agents are poisonous
and damage the marine environment. Avoid these
preparations. Most countries have introduced legisla-
tion that regulates the use of anti-fouling agents. Find
out about legislation applicable in the area where the
boat is used.
Always follow these regulations. In many cases it is
strictly forbidden to use anti-fouling agents on leisure
craft, e.g. in freshwater.
Tin-based agents (TBT paints) may not be used.
Do not paint in the groove (
A
) between the drive unit
and the hull or the exhaust cushion (
B
).
Allow the paint to dry before launching the boat.
