UNDERWATER BODY (Keel to Deep Load Line) 1. Apply two (2) full coats of high solids epoxy anticorrosive. Alternate colors between coats to assure proper coverage. 2. Apply two (2) full coats of scrubbable antifouling (red). B. ABOVE-WATER HULL (Deep Load Line to Main Deck) Care is to be taken so overspray does not come in contact with areas not intended for paint. (Main Deck, deck house, cleats, etc.)1. Apply one (1) full coat of zinc rich epoxy. 2. Apply one (1) full coat of high solids epoxy (grey). 3. Apply one (1) full coat of high gloss modified (acrylic) epoxy (black). 4. Draft markings are to be hand painted with two (2) coats of high gloss modified (acrylic) epoxy (white). 5. Paint in the vessel's hull number "PG-616" on center of transom using two (2) coats of high gloss modified (acrylic) epoxy (white). 0005 CATHODIC PROTECTION A. Provide and install seven (7) 12" x 12" x 3/8" steel doublers with two (2) " NC 316L stainless steel studs welded in pairs on 6" centers. Weld these doubler/stud assemblies on the bottom and submerged sides of the hull in the previous anode locations. Confirm locations with the COTR prior to installing. B. Provide seven (7) each twenty-two (22) pound zinc anodes, military type, 6" x 12" x 1 " with two (2) cast-in cored holes on 6" centers. Touch up any coatings disturbed by the welding.
