Hi Steve, That sounds great. Does this regular scrubbing work instead of, or in addition to anti-fouling paint?

I tip the boat while it is in the boat slip to expose as much of the hull as I can, then do the other side, and flush the center board with fresh water when the board is raised in the housing, also flush the kicker outboard. The season is followed by a thorough soap and fresh water scrubbing, top to bottom, while on the trailer after the last haul out. Also fresh water rinse the trailer when the boat is in the water and zirk the trailer wheel bearings after the last haul out.

Is it feasible or will it cause major damage? My boat has a lead centerboard, but iron in the keel. I have added epoxy, cloth, and gelcoat to the trunk liner-hull seam to hopefully seal it better. I suppose if I were to moor it, I would pull the centerboard to put anti-fouling inside the trunk, and on the centerboard. Sincerely, Tyler '81 M15 S/V Defiant #157
