Product Overview
High in copper and with its hard ablative formula, Cukote is a good choice for recreational and commercial boats.
As its name implies, Cukote is heavily loaded with copper, which makes this bottom paint a top performer, even in heavy fouling conditions. As a copolymer ablative paint, Cukote offers several advantages over hard, modified epoxy-based paints. First, it self polishes as the boat is used, which eliminates the build-up of paint over time, which also reduces the need for sanding when the time comes to reapply. Second, as Cukote self-polishes, fresh biocide is constantly released and the hull remains smooth and clean. Third, hulls painted with Cukote can be hauled and kept out of the water without a loss of antifouling effectiveness, so you can paint in the fall and launch in the spring.
As a hard ablative paint formulated to wear slowly away, Cukote is a good choice for fast moving recreational and commercial boats. Cukote is a great choice for all waters, including heavy fouling tropical waters. Cukote may be applied to below the waterline to fiberglass, wood and steel boats with haulout intervals of less than three years. Do not apply on aluminum hulls. Offered in Dark Blue, Green, Teal, Red, Light Blue, Black, White. Not for sale in States where prohibited by law.

Get the right amount of paint:
Note: The following recommendations are for two coats of paint. All values are approximate
| Boat Type | Bottom Paint |
|---|---|
| 10' Dinghy | 1 qt. |
| 14' Outboard | 1-2 qt. |
| 18' Runabout | 2 qt. |
| 20' Sailboat | 3 qt. |
| 24' Runabout | 3-4 qt. |
| 30' Sailboat | 1.5 gal. |
| 32' Cruiser | 1.5-2 gal. |
| 36' Auxiliary | 2 gal. |
| 40' Cruiser | 2.5 gal. |
| 45' Sailboat | 3-3.5 gal |
| 50' Sportfisher | 4+ gal. |
Another way to determine bottom paint quantity is to estimate the approximate surface area of the hull below the waterline, using the following formula:
Length x Beam x .75 = Approximate underwater surface area in square feet.
Each paint has a “theoretical coverage” area, but most paints require at least two coats, so you can expect actual coverage to be no greater than half of the theoretical value.
