Painting the drive and underwater
hull
General
Most countries have introduced legislation controlling
the use of anti-fouling agents. In some cases these
agents are completely forbidden for use on leisure
craft. In these cases ask your Volvo Penta dealer
for advice about alternative methods.
IMPORTANT! Find out what regulations apply to
the use of anti-fouling agents.
Drive
The paintwork is part of the drive’s anti-corrosion
protection and it is therefore important that any
paintwork damage is remedied.
Sand down metal surfaces lightly using a 120 grade
paper and a finer grade for painted surfaces. Wash off
using thinners or similar. Any pores in the surface
should be filled and sanded down. Paint using Volvo
Penta original primer and topcoat. Let the paint dry.
The drive should be painted with Volvo Penta anti-
fouling to prevent fouling. Apply according to the
instructions on the packaging.
IMPORTANT! The sacrificial anodes on the drive
and propeller must not be painted.
Underwater hull
Anti fouling agent containing copper oxide can in-
crease the risk of galvanic corrosion and therefore
should never be used.
