Sail Drives, Mediterranean, Anti Fouling

[Bora]

Any pointers on a good antifouling for the hull that can also be used on the sail drive?

Am i right in thinking that the sail drive is aluminium and should therefore not be painted with a  copper antifoul?  It's a Yanmar SD60.

Had a search for the folding prop paint that many seem to use but couldn't find it on the forum, any pointers there?

Stay away from copper on your aluminium sail drive. Go for a tin based product like International Paint's "trilux".

Ideally I’d have the same paint on each but if copper is working best in the Med then I’ll get the hull done with that and the sail drive done with something like trilux

That is our standard practice in the pacific northwest. The tin based stuff is only sold in small lot cans as the eco gang got onto us in the 90's.

nothings works in the med  

the best that I find for props and saildrives is  Velox  (primer + antifouiling)
