Coating the boat bottom
A clean hull improves boat performance. The
boat bottom should be kept as clean of ma-
rine growth as possible. If necessary, the
boat bottom can be coated with an anti-foul-
ing paint approved for your area to inhibit
marine growth.
Connect the red battery cable to the POSI-
TIVE (+) terminal first. Then connect the
black battery cable to the NEGATIVE (-) ter-
minal.
Do not use anti-fouling paint which includes
copper or graphite. These paints can cause
more rapid engine corrosion.
