Outboard Engine bottom paint

Post by Tom »

Last year I used Tempo spray clear bottom paint on my outboard on our CD25. Bad news the sea life loved it. Tried Micron33 in spray worked much better. What does everyone else use on their outboard for anti-fouling paint?

Seems strange the difference you are having......they are both tributyl paints which are tin based and I have used the Tempo clear on the stainless swim platform support rail on my runabout that sits in the water sometimes and I have had better protection from that clear Tempo then I did from the black Micron CSC on the hull.
