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 coat-
ed 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
