Painting stainless isn’t a good idea. Stainless requires contact wit air to be “stain.less”. It’s also difficult to get paint to stick to stainless. ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

I tried PropSpeed 3 separate times. (They certainly are proud of that stuff!) I had the same results as you. Very unsatisfactory. I tried everything, and finally found a decent solution. I use the spr

Proper application is also the key to successful CopperCoat antifouling. I tried PropSpeed, 3 times. Applied it myself. Followed the directions to the letter. Maybe the directions are wrong, as they d

True, 18 gauge wire may be bigger than necessary, but I find it more robust, resisting breakage better than thinner wire, especially routing through difficult spaces. My 2¢, and your results may diffe

Shielded wire is great for electronics to prevent stray EMI issues. Not so critical for lighting, but still nice to have. ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

The US CopperCoat supplier is in Melbourne, FL. His name is Jim Edwards. I’m sure you can find his email address on the CC site. Ask him. He’ll know for sure, as he loathes warranty calls due to impro

I believe the application method is not relevant to number of hulls, or boat manufacturer, as long as the yard is familiar with fiberglass/gelcoat hulls.... ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

I’ve used Marine Warehouse to ship an Aircon unit to Trinidad. I bought it from them, and was able to negotiate a price on the brand and model I wanted. They matched the lowest price I could find onli

Strange, I wonder why they are installing gel batteries on our new 50? ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

I may be speaking from ignorance, but many lower units require removing the vent plug, and filling via a squeeze bottle from the drain plug, until oil seeps out the vent, installing the vent plug, an

The clutch went out on our first Raymarine linear drive unit, after 17 years and 3 Atlantic crossings. The second was trouble-free, up to the time I sold the boat, 12 years later. I did carry a spare.

A feathering prop has better control at only a minimal increase in drag over a folding prop. ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

You can use Hydrogen Peroxide. It converts to water over a short time. ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

Also, you can flush with Sodium Metabisulfite, used for pickling watermakers. It must be flushed out of the system in the spring, and used with an RV antifreeze if you are in a freezing climate..... ~

We had CopperCoat on our previous boat. It is now going on 6 years. It’s been sanded ONCE, before we splashed it for the first time. It’s never been pressure washed. We followed the application instru
