Trilux 33 Alternatives

[jon and michie]

Hi - I have been looking on various chandlery websites in preparation for the winter/spring servicing.
I usually use Trilux 33 in grey for my Volvo Outdrive - However it seems that it has been dis continued and Cruiser 200 is Internation's paint replacement.
Is there any other Manufacturers that could be recommended that do the anti foul in grey and would directly be able to be applied to the previous Trilux 33 application ?
Many Thanks In Advance
Jon

Probably worth trying Hempel, but my experience is the product is not as easy to apply as Trilux. Only the fish will see the colour difference after you launch

It would appear that Trilux Prop o Drev spray cans in grey are still available - International Trilux Prop-O-Drev

Ive found the spray version is not as good as the brush application...............the mackerel might be colour blind.

Thank You for the replies so far - The colour really isnt the be all and end all - what I am more interested in is a antifoul paint that wont conflict with the Trilux 33 that is already on the drive

Has it been discontinued? It seems to be still shown on the International website?

According to some chandlers yes and list their alternatives as international cruiser 200 see here in the description.

I wonder if it is a pro/non-pro use issue?

I have only used the sprayed version over the last 14 years and have only had the odd barnacle. I guess it depends upon where you are……?

No problem in Ireland. It's listed by Marine Parts Direct, CH Marine, Union Chandelry and Viking Marine among many others.
