Boat Bottom Care
To achieve maximum performance and fuel economy, the boat bottom must be kept clean.
Accumulation of marine growth or other foreign matter can greatly reduce boat speed and
increase fuel consumption. To ensure best performance and efficiency, periodically clean
the boat bottom in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations.
In some areas, it may be advisable to paint the bottom to help prevent marine growth. Refer
to the following information for special notes about the use of anti‑fouling paints.

reference electrode and anode. Doing so will render them ineffective as inhibitors of
galvanic corrosion.
