100%, and safe. Let’s just say there more guys out there that got bigger …. Then me when it comes to structural integrity of their boatsMine's a 1993. I believe a good looking boat runs better, is less expensive to operate and catches more fish!

We are so fortunate to be near the Discovery Islands. The water is so warm in summer that I snorkel around the boat to scrub away any of those little hitch-hikers.
That was just about 12 months worth of growth. I first noticied a few mussels in late august and then they formed up like crazy.
I am hoping I can supress them this year, but need to find out how to remove them . Are they easy to knock off the boat as they appear?

What is the water temperature showing on your device when at your slip?

That's just part of the casting
That is a good idea. I just ordered a pool thermometer and will leave it in the water when we are at the slip.
Is this a crack?
I am having the boat serviiced in two weeks. I will be there with the boat and will make sure that gets checked out.
Thanks for seeing that.

it will show on your electronics at the slip when turned on. Mine was 44 degrees at Burrard Civic yesterday on my Garmin. I assume even colder during the winter, consequently hardly any growth on the hull/gear. Those boats that never seem to get used have less growth now from the winter cold killing off the growth than last summer/fall.
Yeah but if I usea thermometer, it is another task to log and when my pals bring their grand kids it is a task for them

Next time you have the boat out I would spread a healthy layer of Penaten on your outboard bracket….tabs and actuator parts below the water line. Depending on use it lasts for quite a long time. It will get you through the Spring growing season and cut down on growth big time…..

Yes! ...and it's also great for a senior's diaper rash (so I heard.)

Humor aside, (for just a moment) it works amazingly well! Wolf turned me on to it a couple of years ago. Much less trouble and cheaper than the paint.

It was on the main outboard of the boat I bought in fall of 2021. Didn’t know what the heck it was at first.
