Bottom paint needs to be re-done every 2-4 years, depending. Having a covered slip keep sunlight off the waterline and helps prevent growth enabling the paint to last longer.

We bottom paint the transom bracket and nose cone of the Yamaha with Trilux 33. Do not use a copper based anti-fouling paint on the outboard.

The outboard, being aluminum, is not compatible with a copper based anti-fouling paint. Use Trilux 33 on the outboard and leave a 1 inch gap around the transom bracket to separate the two dissimlar anti-fouling paints.

Aluminum and copper in an electrolyte such as salt-water will cause galvanic corrosion to occur. I used Seahawk Cukote on the fiberglass hull, Trilux 33 on the aluminum transom bracket and Yamaha F300 nose cone.
