Had a diver down to replace my zincs today. He reports that the hull and hardware are free of crustaceans of every sort, and that the prop, shaft, and fittings that I coated in Desitin in September are clean of everything and still slick with the cream. Richard Tomkinson

Temperature? My bottom is equally clean, I use Penaten Cream (Baby's Bottom Stuff), but some people have suggested it works well for me only because I'm in northern waters (max temperature ~20 Celsius).

I did a pepper and Trinadad bottom job May 2000 and the pepper doesn't work----never again, I'm going back to the anti-biotic that does work for like 3 years. My diver said a lot of people are using pepper with bad results in South Florida.......... . ============================================================= At 08:33 PM 3/17/01 -0800, you wrote: >Had a diver down to replace my zincs today.
