[B]Hey cmjeff, what type of hull???[/B]
[B][/B]
[B]I never seen any difference in growth from hulls where they used cyan pepper mixed in paint, my theroy is it gets dilluted in the biga$$ body of water it’s in.[/B]

[B]The “ablative” paints, in theroy, gradually wear while under way, and inhibit the barnacles from “seeding” to the boat. Well it only takes 24 hours for a barnacle to do this and be seen with the naked eye. So running the boat often would be best for that option. [/B]

[B]I don’t remember anything about Tin in paints that we used at the ship yard 100 or so years ago. [/B]

[B]If he can make it/ or not to clear waters, I would just get used to taking it out and diving the bottom frequently to maintain.[/B]

[B]I like to check all intakes frequently.[/B]

[B]Interlux and petit make a clear antifouling paint he can use on the sea strainers. [/B]

[B]I’m not up with the industry like I used to be, but I would contact the manufacturer, they don’t spend millions on research to have thier product fail.[/B]

[B]Some paints require a pesticide certification and license for application. Thats where the small boat yards stick ya.[/B]
