I noticed that Pettit has their annual rebate on bottom paint. I use Hydrocoat which has a $50 rebate.

The rebate link is:

The rebate form is available at:

If you do this, you should consider replacing the rubber gasket for the cap while you’re at it.   This forum has threads about that process.  I have some leftover material if anyone needs it—I had to buy a wide piece and cut it down to size.
