Sea Hawk AF33 is a durable, self-polishing ablative antifouling bottom paint engineered to provide reliable multi-season protection for pleasure craft, cruising vessels, workboats and commercial marine applications.
Its harder ablative copolymer formulation gradually polishes during use, helping maintain a smooth underwater surface while continuously exposing active antifouling material. This controlled polishing action provides effective protection against marine fouling while helping reduce excessive paint buildup over repeated applications.
AF33 contains 33.6% cuprous oxide and uses a high-grade copper active ingredient for dependable antifouling performance. Its harder self-polishing finish provides greater durability than traditional softer ablative coatings, making it an excellent choice for vessels that require extended service and multi-season protection.
AF33 is formulated with consistent viscosity for good flow and rolling characteristics, helping professional applicators and boat owners achieve a smooth, uniform finish. It can also be applied over most existing antifouling coatings when properly prepared, making it a practical choice for maintenance and repainting applications.
With its combination of durability, self-polishing performance and competitive cost, AF33 delivers premium multi-season antifouling protection at a single-season price point. It is also Lloyd's Register certified.

AF33 can be applied by brush, solvent-resistant roller, conventional spray or airless spray. Because the product contains a significant concentration of copper oxide, Sea Hawk instructs users to thoroughly power-mix or shake the material until uniform before application.
AF33 can be used on properly prepared fiberglass, wood and steel surfaces. For aluminum, it must not be applied directly to bare aluminum; Sea Hawk specifies use of the appropriate barrier-coat system.
This is the section I'd especially keep on Gold Coast:
AF33 is an excellent choice for boat owners and marine professionals looking for the durability and extended protection of a multi-season antifouling without moving into the price range of Sea Hawk's premium antifouling systems.
Its harder self-polishing ablative technology provides a durable underwater finish that gradually renews itself during use, while 33.6% cuprous oxide provides dependable antifouling protection. The result is a practical balance of performance, durability and value for everything from serious cruising vessels to workboats and commercial applications.
