Re: Bottom fouling protection
 

interceptor i've also tried the same products you have but have'nt found anything great . they all help to make cleaning the bottom easier but they don't keep algae from sticking !!! so i just pull the boat every few weeks and clean with starbrite hull cleaner or on/off.

26Sonic,
I also pull my boat about every two weeks or when the gas level get low. At two weeks about all there is on the hull is the tea stain and On/Off or similar products eliminates it fast.

Re: Bottom fouling protection
 

My three boating wishes have always been -
1. Clear bottom paint that works.
2. Transducers that work with stepped hull aireation issue.

1. Dolphinite made the clear coat but they have gone belly up. They also made the speed coat.
2. Regarding transducers, I have installed a lot do to a lot of fishermen here in Boston and the current ones have to have no turbuulance what so ever. Even transducers on the transom have to be a minimum of 15" from the prop, Starboard side only. Port is fine but the measurement has to be increased. The most expensive speed thru hull 'ducers still loose signals occationally after 45mph. But even at those speeds, the time you see shallow reading, its probably too late.

Sonic Boom,
I tried the Dolphinite Go-Fast last season. It was a horrible failure. The good thing was I bought it at Boat US and their insurance paid for the removal of the product and to paint my bottom with an epoxy barrier coat.

Are you saying starboard side for transducers based on prop rotation ?
