    Copper reaction

    Wondering if any one paints their below water metal parts with bottom paint that has copper. Aluminum trim tabs? Steel rudders? Bronze props? Stainless shafts? The previous owner had everything painted but I hear different metals react differently with bottom paint. Thanks for any info
