Normally I try to include illustrative photographs demonstrating some compelling aspect of my topic for the day. This time, I’m just TOO EMBARASSED to show you my trim tabs.
Suffice to say that they look like a hands-on exhibit at the aquarium.
So one of these days Real Soon Now, I’m going to pull this boat out of the water and clean up those trim tabs.
But then what? Well, I’m hopeful that a can of Pettit 1792 Zinc Coat Barnacle Barrier (available at Fisheries Supply) will do the trick! Apparently, this product provides a protective “coat” of “zinc”, creating a “barrier”, if you will, against “barnacles”.
That’s my understanding, anyway. Actually, there’s a nice information sheet available from Pettit.
Anybody have any experience with this product?
