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.
