Special Care for Moored Boats

 Applying an epoxy barrier coating to the hull bottom will help prevent gel coat blistering
while your boat is moored.
 Cover the barrier coating with several coats of anti-fouling paint.
 Many states have environmental standards regulating the chemical content of bottom
paints. Your local dealer can recommend bottom paints approved for use in your state.
 Whether moored in saltwater or freshwater, your boat will collect marine growth on its hull bottom.
 This will detract from your boat's beauty, greatly affect its performance, and may damage the gel coat.
 Periodically haul your boat out of the water and scrub the hull bottom with a bristle brush and a solution of soap
and water.
