Re: Stus-List VC17
Any possibility you are getting galvanic corrosion? We had a similar issue at Nepean Sailing Club, where the tannic acid from years of logging created a battery when different metals were in close proximity. We ended up losing a number of marina mooring chains. All were corroded just below the water. Analysis by NRC people figured out the number of anodes required to protect the moorings. I'm sure some poking around with a volt meter could confirm. Not sure of the makeup of water in Lake Winnipeg...but just an out of the box idea as it sounds similar in location. Food for thought.

Re: Stus-List VC17
Yeah it is weird. The paint under the hull sticks fine. It resists 4000 psi from the pressure washer. I thought dust might be the problem too but I fooled that guess by spraying the hull with fresh water a day before I painted it. Air temperature was good, humidity was fine. It's a mystery.

This is all the more important as the zebra mussel infestation in Lake Winnipeg requires a good paint job. There were about a thousand of them on the little keel in front of my rudder which like the top 6" had lost its VC17 from the lower horizontal surface. Brent Driedger 27-5 Lake Winnipeg.

Stus-List VC17
Hi everyone and to my fellow Canadians, happy Thanksgiving. I pulled Wild Rover out of the lake last weekend and found not to my surprise that once again I have lost the majority of the VC17 I painted onto the hull within 6 inches of the waterline. I originally brought the hull back to bare gel coat with a random orbital sander and sealed with 6 coats of Interprotect 2000. This was sanded flat and roughed up prior to the VC application. The Vc goes on as per the instructions but every year I loose that 6" or so. More where the water is turbulent. It's frustrating watching others pull boats with intact bottom paint, even those who clean their hulls every couple of weeks. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
