COATING THE BOAT BOTTOM

A clean hull improves boat performance. The
boat bottom should be kept as clean of
marine growths as possible. If necessary, the
boat bottom can be coated with an anti-fouling
paint approved for your area to inhibit marine
growth. Do not use anti-fouling paint which
includes copper or graphite. These paints can
cause more rapid engine corrosion.
