2.21 Anti-Fouling & Marine growth
We recommend the bottom of the hull painted with a good
quality anti fouling paint to prevent marine growth and barnacles
as this will affect the speed of your vessel. Anti fouling paint
should be applied per manufacturer's instructions. Before
repainting your vessel's bottom, you should check to be sure the
brand and type of paint you have chosen are fully compatible
with the type presently on the vessel.
NOTE：
（1） Avoid heavy sanding of the hull bottom
（2） Do
manufacturer's recommended paint on the
depth sounder transducer.
（3） Some type of anti fouling paints are not
compatible unless a primer is used first
