Antifouling Paint
IMPORTANT: Corrosion damage that results from the improper application of anti-
fouling paint will not be covered by the limited warranty.
Painting Boat Hull or Boat Transom: Antifouling paint may be applied to boat hull and boat
transom but you must observe the following precautions:
IMPORTANT: DO NOT paint anodes or MerCathode System reference electrode and
anode, as this will render them ineffective as galvanic corrosion inhibitors.
IMPORTANT: If anti-fouling protection is required for boat hull or boat transom
, cop-
per or tin base paints, if not prohibited by law, can be used. If using copper or tin
based anti-fouling paints, observe the following:
• Avoid an electrical interconnection between the MerCruiser Product, Anodic
Blocks, or MerCathode System and the paint by allowing a minimum of 1-1/2 in.
(40mm) UNPAINTED area on transom of the boat around these items.
