ACP, Active Corrosion Protection
Boats equipped with ACP (option) have a zinc anode
integrated
in
the ACP unit; see illustration. Replace the
anode when about 1/3 has corroded away.
Inspect the drive unit anti-fouling
Inspect the anti-fouling paint on the drive annually. All
steel and bronze surfaces, including propellers, should
be protected by anti-fouling paint for unpainted surfa-
ces. Follow the anti-fouling paint supplier's instructions
regarding how the paint must be used on the drive unit.
Do not apply coating in the groove (A) between the
drive unit and the hull or the plastic surface of the
exhaust cushion (B).
Painting the hull bottom
All paints containing anti-fouling agents are poisonous
and damage the marine environment. Avoid these
preparations. Most countries have introduced legisla-
tion that regulates the use of anti-fouling agents. Find
out about legislation applicable in the area where the
boat is used.
Always follow these regulations. In many cases it is
strictly forbidden to use anti-fouling agents on leisure
craft, e.g. in freshwater.
Tin-based agents (TBT paints) may not be used.
Do not paint in the groove (A) between the drive unit
and the hull or the exhaust cushion (B).
Allow the paint to dry before launching the boat.
