Special Care for Moored Yachts
•
Whether moored in saltwater or freshwater, your yacht will collect marine growth on its hull bottom.
•
This will detract from your yacht’s beauty, greatly affect its performance, and may damage the gel coat.
•
There are two methods of slowing marine growth:
1. Periodically haul your yacht out of the water and scrub the hull bottom with a bristle brush and a solution of soap
and water.
2. Occasionally re-paint the hull below the waterline with a good grade of anti-fouling paint.
Sacrificial Anodes (Zincs)
Your yacht features sacrificial anodes (zincs) to protect
underwater metal parts from excessive deterioration. Check
the zincs regularly and replace them if they have deterio-
rated 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
Stray electrical current from your yacht, another boat, or the
dock may cause complete deterioration of the zincs in just a
few weeks. If there is rapid zinc deterioration, measure the
electrolytic corrosion around your yacht with a corrosion
test meter.
•
To help seal the hull bottom and reduce the chance of gel coat blistering while your yacht is
moored, apply an epoxy barrier coating.
•
Cover the barrier coating 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.
•
If the zincs are NOT bonded correctly, they will NOT provide protection.
