Cat’s Paw was hauled out 3 days ago and there are clusters of barnacles in several places, although most of the hull is virtually clear of growth. One cluster is on the thru hull ports for the depth sounder and speedometer (which was replaced during the summer with the plug when it stopped working). Is this caused by a barnacle-friendly surface of these units? Can the surface be painted with antifouling paint to avoid this? The other picture is growth around the inlet and outlet of the washbasin in the head, but in that case not just where the holes are but in the vicinity. Any thoughts about what causes this and how to avoid it? Here’s the link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/44pjga1qixliadz/AACVsjFhGwprwuDydjV-yF5Xa?dl=0
