Coating the boat bottom

A clean hull improves boat performance. The
boat bottom should be kept as clean of marine
growth as possible. If necessary, the boat bot-
tom 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.
