Special Care For Moored Boats; Hazard Boxes & Symbols - Bayliner Rendezvous Owner's Manual Supplement

Special Care For Moored Boats

If moored in saltwater or fresh water, your boat will collect marine growth on its
hull bottom. This will detract from the boat's beauty, greatly affect its performance
and may damage the gelcoat. There are two methods of slowing marine growth:
• Periodically haul the boat out of the water and scrub the hull bottom with a bristle
brush and a solution of soap and water.
• Paint the hull below the waterline with a good grade of anti-fouling paint.
To help seal the hull bottom and reduce the possibility of gelcoat blistering on
moored boats, we recommend the application of an epoxy barrier coating, such
as Interlux, Interprotect 2000E/2001E. The barrier coating should be covered
with several coats of anti-fouling paint.
Many states regulate the chemical content of bottom paints in order to meet
environmental standards. Check with your local dealer about recommended
bottom paints, and about the laws in effect in your area.
