It is closed cell, only the exposed "broken" cells will hold any water. You
can paint it with just about any latex if you want to.

while installing kicker bracket on the transom. I tore out large
foam pieces from the inside. Now the protective surface on the foam
is gone,open cells readily soak up water. What can I use to seal the
surface of the foam ? I'm thinking some kind of paint .. cheap and
available from Home Depot? Any suggestions ?
