Water based anti-foul

[Piers]

I'll soon be antifouling Play d'eau and need some water based antifoul for the transducers.

I'd really appreciate knowing which you use and how effective you've found it. Thank you.

I'll bet most modern antifouls are OK for transducers and if you say what you'll be doing the rest of the boat with i;m sure someone will confirm it's OK to use on your transducers.

I use Blakes Tiger Xtra on mine and it's fine on a plastic through hull. Last boat was done with International and that was also fine.

Hi Piers

My boat is antifouled with International Micron Optima self polishing which is water based and is about the best i have seen round our parts for effectiveness.
