Since I have had my current boat (17 years) I have always used Trilux on the Saildrive (Yanmar SD20). Now it would appear that you can only by Trilux in 2.5 litre cans, and there is a note on the International Paints website which says that it is for 'professional use only'. I wonder why that should be, but it has also made me wonder whether, since the sail drive has several coats of epoxy primer underneath the previous coats of Trilux, is it really necessary to use special antifouling for the saildrive? Would not, for instance, Hempel hard racing antifouling be ok on top of some more anti-fouling primer?
