Dean,
I use the same paint on my 35 Mk2. Applied two light coats of CSC with
a paint sprayer every year (just under a gallon) with the same results
that you saw. I do paint the bronze prop shaft and Martec folding
prop., but get some barnacles on the shaft and some near hub of prop,
none on the hull. I also tape out the area where I put the zinc donut.
Since I do race, I do a light rub of the hull to remove the scum about
once a month.

First full season for me with my C&C 34 and I used Interlux Micron
CSC, as that’s what the previous owner ’thought’ was on it when I
bought it. A good friend has also used it on his Tartan 3700 for years
with good results.
I used 2 to 3 coats after a light sanding of the previous coat(s) and
it has worked very well. Five months moored in the Northwest Arm in
Halifax NS and it was surprisingly super clean when it came out at end
of season… a little green scum in places but that’s it! Stainless prop
shaft was caked with barnacles and growth, so I’m guessing bottom
paint worked great where it was applied!
Does anyone coat their stainless prop shaft (or brass folding prop)
with bottom paint?

Hi Bill- Can you clarify what you used? I looked at the Pettit site
and there was nothing called Odyssey Trinidad. There was an Odyssey

I know this subject is as old as boats, but I think I commented in
the spring that I was trying a brand new paint and would report in
the fall, so here it is. It is raining and chilly and not much else
going on in the NE, so . ..
The paint is Pettit Odyssey Trinidad, and when I hauled a week ago
the results were nothing less than amazing. All of the clubs haul
out guys (and girl) were in awe, and said it was the cleanest boat
the have hauled this year.
There was some scum from the bow back amidships and going down a few
inches, mostly on the north side, oddly enough. But the rest was
amazingly clean. Of note, here in the Great Lakes over the last 10
years or so there has been some new growth that no one seems to know
anything about, looks like a spider web growing all over the bottom,
and there was NONE of that. No Zebra Mussels, nothing.
It is called ablative, but it is nowhere near as ablative as the
previous year’s paint, very little came off with the pressure
washer. Also, it called for two initial coats, I only used one. It
goes on nice, and what I liked is that there is no heavy copper
falling out, you don’t seem to need to keep stirring it as you go.
In fact, I don’t think it has copper as we know it, Three
Ingredients, Copper Thiocyanate, Econea, and Zinc Pyrithione. I
wouldn’t consider it a racing paint, but after a month, I might. One
of the guys hauled his First 40 out and cleaned it (VC17) for the
last race two weeks before his final haulout, and his bottom was a
mess, complete with ‘spiderwebs’ and Zebra Mussels. He was amazed to
see how much scum was back on 2 weeks later.
I think it’s the Zinc . . . .Also, a $30 rebate going on.
