{"product_id":"sea-hawk-cukote-self-polishing-ablative-bottom-paint-red-gallon-3441-gl","title":"Sea Hawk Cukote Self-Polishing Ablative Bottom Paint, Red, Gallon (3441\/GL)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSea Hawk Cukote is an ablative, self-polishing antifouling bottom paint built on an enhanced copolymer biocide-release mechanism. As the boat moves through the water, the paint wears away in a controlled, even layer, continuously exposing fresh biocide to keep fouling organisms from taking hold on the hull. Because the ablative action prevents heavy coating buildup over time, boats can be hauled out and repainted season after season without the paint film growing thick or requiring extensive sanding to remove old layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis red, gallon-size can of Cukote (part number 3441\/GL) is registered with the EPA under registration number 44891-7 and is intended for use as an antifouling coating on boat hulls. Cukote can be applied directly over existing bottom paints, which simplifies re-coating for boats already carrying an ablative or similar finish. It is available in a range of color choices, with this listing covering the red gallon container.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sea Hawk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3441\/GL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gallon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.5 x 6.5 x 6.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5 x 6.5 x 7.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEPA Registration Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 44891-7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ablative Bottom Paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 811577010961\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaint Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ablative, self-polishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of bottom paint is Sea Hawk Cukote 3441\/GL?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is an ablative, self-polishing antifouling bottom paint that uses an enhanced copolymer biocide-release mechanism, sold here in the red gallon size under part number 3441\/GL.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan Cukote be applied over existing bottom paint?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, Sea Hawk Cukote can be applied directly over other boat bottom paints, which makes recoating a hull that already has an ablative or similar finish straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the paint build up in thick layers over multiple seasons?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. Because Cukote is a self-polishing ablative formula, it wears away in a controlled manner as the boat moves through water, which prevents the heavy coating buildup that non-ablative paints can develop over repeated applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Sea Hawk Cukote 3441\/GL registered with the EPA?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, this Sea Hawk Cukote formulation carries EPA registration number 44891-7.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color and size does part number 3441\/GL come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e Part number 3441\/GL is the red color option in a one-gallon container.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the weight of a gallon of Cukote bottom paint?\u003c\/strong\u003e A gallon container of Sea Hawk Cukote (3441\/GL) weighs 18.3 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the gallon can?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Cukote gallon container measures 6.5 x 6.5 x 7.5 inches, with a package size of 7.5 x 6.5 x 6.5 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a boat safe to haul out after using Cukote without damaging the antifouling properties?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the ablative, self-polishing technology in Sea Hawk Cukote is designed so a boat can be hauled without affecting the antifouling paint's properties, unlike coatings that can be compromised by drying out between haul-outs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is Sea Hawk Cukote 3441\/GL manufactured?\u003c\/strong\u003e This Cukote bottom paint is manufactured in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Cukote a hard bottom paint or an ablative paint?\u003c\/strong\u003e Cukote is an ablative paint, not a hard, non-eroding coating, meaning it wears away gradually with water movement rather than remaining as a fixed hard film.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes Sea Hawk offer Cukote in other colors besides red?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, Cukote is available in a range of color choices; part number 3441\/GL specifically is the red gallon version.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sea Hawk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49031300677851,"sku":"S-H-3441GL","price":296.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/71YlL06Nn_L.jpg?v=1785212838","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sea-hawk-cukote-self-polishing-ablative-bottom-paint-red-gallon-3441-gl","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
