Re: A question about coppercoat
Yes, CC can be applied over barrier coat. Follow their directions.
I applied four coats as they directed. The coats go on thin and it doesn’t look right until the second or third coat.
I can’t

Re: A question about coppercoat
Craig, That sounds expensive, but I spent $1500.00 on bottom paint a couple of years ago. If you got six years for $2300. ,that would work out pretty well,if it works for you ,seems to have had

Hi Pat - check out coppercoatusa.com - they list an SM as needing 18 "Kits" for $2340. Site is a "must read and study". It is a totally different animal than conventional bottom paint and requires 4

Hi Chris, Please share pictures of how things look after you “unstack” the main switches. I have been considering that as well.
Here are a few responses to your ideas:

Re: A question about coppercoat
Matt, How many coats of CC do you apply. I am fairing some holes in my gel coat and then plan to overcoat with Interprotect 2000. Can CC be applied over a barrier coat?
Thanks,

Re: A question about coppercoat
We applied CC ourselves.
It’s not easy.
First, CC is not paint. It is a 2 part epoxy with copper powder (more like dust) mixed in. Two factors to deal with:
1) the copper does not stay in

Re: Bow Thruster Amps rating.
Thanks everyone! My setup has me in 4 groups of 100AH 12V Battle Borns @24v (400AH). I have each group's positives and negatives aggregating to corresponding bus bars that then lead to the battery

Re: A question about coppercoat
We put our own copper coat on in Trinidad, just the two of us. In the heat it did need thinning down. We did a third of the hull at a time. We did not put a barrier coat on as it is an epoxy mixture

Can coppercoat be applied by an owner or does it need to be applied by a dealer ? If it can be installed by an owner ,what would you estimate the cost of materials would be . I had the impression that

As suspected and expected - did Bills's step by step, literally in 5 mins crisis is over!
Thanks you all. Now another thing, the gear seem to be weak / maybe finished (from before the episode), and

Re: Bow Thruster Amps rating.
Our SM#160 bow thruster draws about 485 Amps when it is running. The exact power calculation is complicated because the voltage is not steady at 24 volts, but drops quickly, and significantly, under
