Chapter 7
As a factory option two coats of bottom paint are applied
to your vessel. Th is product provides top-of-the-line an-
tifouling protection. It contains the highest percentage
of croupous oxide to aggressively combat even the worst
tropical conditions. Th
is product will help reduce annual
hull maintenance.
Th e hard epoxy base produces the most durable fi nish
for long lasting performance. If your vessel is left in the
water the paint provides eff ective year round service.
Periodically check the bottom of the boat for growth. Th
e
vendor recommends scrubbing the bottom with a soft
brush to remove anything from the antifouling surface.
Th
is scrubbing is particularly important with boats that
are idle for extended periods.
Note: When touching up the bottom with epoxy paint
wait at least 3 days before relaunching the vessel. On
older models always leave at least 1 1/2” between any
metal objects including anodes and the bottom paint to
help prevent electrolysis. On later models there is a shim
that assures the anode is a safe distance from the paint.
Th
ese models can be painted right up to the anode edge.
See the illustration.
TO PROTECT AGAINST GALVANIC CORROSION
DO NOT USE BOTTOM PAINT ON ANODES.
