Sea Hawk Cukote Self-Polishing Ablative Bottom Paint, Red, Gallon (3441/GL)
Sea Hawk Cukote Self-Polishing Ablative Bottom Paint, Red, Gallon (3441/GL)
Sea 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.
This 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of bottom paint is Sea Hawk Cukote 3441/GL? 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.
Can Cukote be applied over existing bottom paint? 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.
Does the paint build up in thick layers over multiple seasons? 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.
Is Sea Hawk Cukote 3441/GL registered with the EPA? Yes, this Sea Hawk Cukote formulation carries EPA registration number 44891-7.
What color and size does part number 3441/GL come in? Part number 3441/GL is the red color option in a one-gallon container.

What are the dimensions of the gallon can? 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.
Is a boat safe to haul out after using Cukote without damaging the antifouling properties? 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.
Where is Sea Hawk Cukote 3441/GL manufactured? This Cukote bottom paint is manufactured in the United States.
Is Cukote a hard bottom paint or an ablative paint? 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.
