FWIW, I did a quick search and found an email from Joe from Interux recommend to another saildrive owner, to use Pacifica Plus, a copper free bottom paint, ". . . that has been out performing most copper based antifouling paints using a biocide called Econea."
Don't think I'd mix Pettit bottom paint w Interlux Primocon on anything. I recommend you contact Interlux or google, "bottom painting saildrive" for other manufacturer's recommendations.

Both have been lightly sanded, washed and then primed with a couple of coats of Primocon (also aerosol). Now I’m having second thoughts. Interlux markets the product as the safest for aluminum but nowhere do they put the magic words “copper/tin free”. My other choice is to brush on Pettit’s Hydrocoat eco which is what I used for the bottom. They are very clear in their brochures that the paint is metal free. I like the idea of the aerosol for the prop but to own a sail drive is to know fear of corrosion. Any thoughts?
