Carver Owners Forum

I have 2004 360 mariner. Interlux bottomkote pro is what was initially used when new and also used for any touch up which has not amounted to much over the years. I could not find interlux bottomkote pro anywhere and called interlux. They said that that paint was no longer being made and that all existing bottom paint needs to be removed (blasted) in order to apply anything else. This not the answer I was looking for nor am I about to have all bottom paint removed when is just needs touch up. Not sure how to proceed or what product to use and bothered by by being told to remove bottom paint. I’m sure it has to do with solvent based bottom paint and environmental issues. I don’t plan on eating it just painting over it in spots.

Welcome to the forum, I think from your location that your boat is in fresh water and hauled for the winter yes?......last year as you have probably read earlier in this thread I mentioned I was going to just light sand and overcoat the waterline and touch up much like what I believe you are asking about......well long story , at haul out this year it is just fine,didn't come off with the pressure washer and performed fine.That being said, I think if you are in salt and your boat stays in all year then it is a different animal ........
