    Humber Assault 5.0 RIB - I have Coppercoat on the hull but I need something to protect the back end of the tubes that sit in the water and get fouled after a couple of weeks. This is a very common problem with RIBs but none of the chandlers I've spoken to have been able to help. Anyone got any suggestions other than lifting out?

    I got a bottle of stuff (can't remember the name) from Cork RIB Centre a few years back - its a white liquid that you apply a light coating of on the hull and it restricts growth - I've used it on a 21ft fast fisher that wasn't antifouled that I left in the water for a few months. A friend of mine uses it on his outdrive and is happy with the results.

    I believe that they recommended it for RIB Tubes as well.
