My 1995 C250 WB hull 151 is since one week in a salt water slip marina (Point Roberts, Wa) with a waxed uncoated bottom for a period of approx 4 months. My question is:
1)Does the bottom of a 1995 Catalina 250 #151 need to be sanded before applying 2 coats Micron CSC undercoating?
What is the advantage or disadvantage to sand the bare bottom?
2) What is suggested to protect the metal ballast tank intake valve... paint this as well or...
3) What is the suggested procedure to protect the swing keel chain/pulley system. Paint this too?
4) Is it a good idea to attach to the (ballast tank valve, keel /pulley system) an inboard clip-on electrical cord to be placed overboard with a zinc component in the water?
According to some the marina is hot whatever that means
Thank you very much in advance
Henk
