Devoe's Ablative Copper ABC#3 looked good in the Army tests for Mussels.
That's not the beginning and end of hull pests, for sure, but its
encouraging, and priced competitively.

Warm salt water is the favorite hang out for barnacles. Anyone that has
spent a couple days scraping barnacles will laugh at zebra mussels.

Should have added that Texas and Florida barnacles can kick the crap out of
anything growing up North so stuff that works great up there may not do
squat here in the South.
Bottom paint manufacturers identify which conditions each formula is for.

"Here in the South" you need to charge the hull with 220VAC to slow them
down. On an unrelated matter, be very careful when you empty out the
prehistoric monsters your salt water cooling pump sucked into the intake
strainer on your marine A/C unit. The same monsters present in the
prehistoric sea, kinda looking like a centipede with a million legs, that
killed the dinosaurs who got too close to the sea, are under the docks at
any Charleston marina. They'll fill an A/C strainer in a week.

.....AND THEY BITE LIKE HELL WITH POISONED FANGS!

The ones already in the strainer are really ****ed off by the time you open
it....in full attack mode! Don't dump 'em out on the dock where someone in
bare feet may get near them!
