Getting ready to paint my bottom, but not sure how to treat the "accessories". I also have a Mercruiser outdrive (Micron 33?), S/S trim tabs with plastic pistons, a S/S prop and the hydraulic hoses for the trim cylinders. So, in total, there are about 4 different materials to paint. Boat is in warm, high-fouling saltwater.<br /><br />????<br /><br />D. Ocean<br />Pompano Beach, FLA

Re: What to paint under the waterline?

Make sure you dont use regular bottom paint on any of the mentioned.Micron 33 is a good choice if you can find it.Most marine stores are not able to carry the aerosols that we have all been using for years.There is a paint called tri-lux which can also be used on metals.Most need proper priming.Charlie
