Zodiac rib problem
 

Hi all,
I have a zodiac yacht line 3.10m rib.
It was in the sea 6 weeks and when I took it out the bottom
(both hull and tubes) were covered in green slimy stuff.
What can I use to treat the bottom of my rib that is safe for the
inflatable?

Thanks

Unless you want to bottom paint it, you are probably going to have to
haul it out once in a while and water blast it.

I have seen some inflatable bottom painted, but not many.

It is a rigid hull?

Yep its a rigid hull.
Couuld I treat it with the anti foul paint just like a normal boat?

I agree. The RIB's hull is just like a normal glass boat. Use anything
used on glass boats on the Rigid part
