Light sand of existing bottom paint.  Apply one coat of antifouling paint.  Sand and paint jackstand areas.  Paint bottom of keel once boat lifted for launching.

Barrier coats (epoxy primers) serve as protective layers, preventing corrosion, blistering, and structural damage caused by prolonged water exposure

Chipping and Flaking: If you notice significant chipping or flaking of the bottom paint, it indicates that the paint is losing adhesion and may need to be stripped. 

Blisters: If you find blisters or damage below the waterline, it's crucial to address them before they compromise the hull's integrity.

Protect underwater metals from corrosion.

Increase fuel efficiency by decreasing growth on running gear.

Anodes for boats, also known as sacrificial anodes, are crucial for preventing corrosion of metal parts in your boat. They work by corroding themselves instead of the boat's metal components, such as props and shafts.

Types of Anodes: Common materials include zinc, aluminum, and magnesium, each suited for different water conditions.
