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 gelcoat.
•
Periodically haul the boat out of the water and scrub the hull bottom with a bristle brush and a solution of soap
and water.
Sacrificial Anodes (Zincs)
Your boat is equipped with sacrificial anodes (zincs) to protect underwater metal parts from excessive deterioration.
Check the zincs regularly and replace them if they have deteriorated more than 70%.
There are many factors that affect the rate at which the zincs deteriorate, including:
•
Water temperature
•
Salinity
•
Water pollution
Stray electrical current from the boat or dock may cause complete deterioration in just a few weeks. If there is rapid
zinc deterioration, measure the electrolytic corrosion around your boat with a Corrosion Test Meter. If the zincs are
not bonded correctly, they will not provide protection.
•
To help seal the hull bottom and reduce the possibility of gelcoat 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.
NOTI CE
Do not paint between the zinc and the metal surface it contacts and do not paint over the zincs.
