But really whether one needs a diver etc isn't the point as I would expect this to be...

Re: Has Anyone Used Copper Coat Antifouling

The last 2 years all I've had to clean is the water line of the hull. And I used fairly cheap AF paint. So using an expensive AF that needs more cleaning is still missing the point! If I'm going to...

Re: Has Anyone Used Copper Coat Antifouling

Misses the point that if a bottom paint needs a diver regularly, maybe there are better choices.

Re: Has Anyone Used Copper Coat Antifouling

If I have to have a diver on regular basis I'm not interested. I don't need this now with standard paint.

Ed

What's your thoughts on the above?

I find this interesting and note most negative posts on the thread are a single "similar" product failure experience. Overall it seems with all the CF...

Re: Has Anyone Used Copper Coat Antifouling

No thanks I have no interest in turning my boat into a general experiment for others. Which is why I asked the question of a manufacturer whose job it is to do such things!

Re: Has Anyone Used Copper Coat Antifouling
