Thanks for that, Ken. I'll pass it on to my friend who is trying to avoid
the annual painting spree on the bottom of his 40' Beneteau.

I have no experience but Coppercoat was reviewed by Practical Sailor
recently:

 

Coppercoat earned a Poor performance rating at the 12-month mark (PS,
October 2010) and a Poor at the 18-month test checkup (PS, March 2011). It
didn't make the cut after 24 months, so it was not included in the two-year
test results table in the October issue. (Search for "
<http://www.practical-sailor.com/search/index.html?zkDo=search&sort_field=Ra
nk&all_words=Coppercoat&x=25&y=9> Coppercoat" on
<http://www.practical-sailor.com/> www.practical-sailor.com to find all of
the reports on the paint's performance.) And while Coppercoat is promoted as
a 10-year coating, it does require regular cleaning to expose fresh copper,
which is not part of our protocol for the static panel test and could
explain its sub-par performance. Some readers have reported good results
over multiple seasons from using Coppercoat with semi-monthly cleanings to
remove slime.

Be sure to put a loop in the discharge line that is above the water line.
