Bottom Job Question

[bruadair]

Hi all,

We're going to be hauling out in about 10 days for a bottom job, replace the cutlass bearing and replace a speed transducer. My question is regarding the bottom job.

We will be applying Sea Hawk 1277 Barrier Coat Primer. The application sheet says

"1277 Barrier Coat Primer is a high build, chlorinated rubber based primer recommended for use over old copper based antifoulants prior to recoating. Also, a high build primer over metal and fiberglass to provide excellent corrosion resistance. A great insurance policy if old paint is unknown. Independent tests prove 1277 to be a great water barrier and an inexpensive way to keep water from penetrating your boat's hull."

The bottom paint we have to put on is the Sea Hawk Islands 44 Plus.

I know that normally one would not apply bottom paint over metal items such as the shaft or hardware holding the rudder on. But I'm wondering if it would be okay to put the 1277 barrier coat primer on the dynaplate for teh ham radio as well as the hardware for the rudder, then apply a coat or two of bottom paint. Or if this should be avoided.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts from the group,
