Bottom Paint, Epoxy, and Zincs
We were out of the water for 3 weeks completing the watermakers install. We had a bad discovery that we did not have an epoxy barrier coat so we sanded the bottom and applied 3 coats of epoxy. Then 2 coats of anti-fouling paint. Big (and expensive) job.

WATERMAKER INSTALL COMPLETE
Our Aquamaax watermaker is now fully functional. We will be testing it over the next couple of months especially when we are off cursing in a few weeks time.
