Boat Bottom Care
To achieve maximum performance and fuel economy, the boat bottom must be kept clean. Accumulation of marine growth or
other foreign matter can greatly reduce boat speed and increase fuel consumption. To ensure best performance and efficiency,
periodically clean the boat bottom in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations.
In some areas, it may be advisable to paint the bottom to help prevent marine growth. Refer to the following information for special
notes about the use of anti‑fouling paints.
Anti‑fouling Paint
IMPORTANT: Corrosion damage that results from an improper type or application of anti‑fouling paint will not be covered by the
limited warranty.
IMPORTANT: You may paint the boat hull or transom with anti‑fouling paint if the following precautions are observed:
•
Do not paint anodes MerCathode System reference electrode and anode, as this will render them ineffective as galvanic
corrosion inhibitors.
•
Copper base paint, if not prohibited by law, can be used.
•
If using copper based anti‑fouling paint, avoid an electrical interconnection between the Mercury MerCruiser Product, Anodic
Blocks, or MerCathode System and the paint by allowing a minimum of 40 mm (1‑1/2 in.) unpainted area on transom of the
boat around these items.
b
Washing the MerCathode assembly can damage components and lead to rapid corrosion. Do not use any cleaning equipment
such as brushes or high‑pressure washers to clean the MerCathode assembly.
