Thank you.  Good information.

Additional details.
The strainer is painted both inside and out.
The boat was powerwashed when hauled....a through job...very little
remained on the hull, a few baby barnacles that I was able to flick off by
a fingernail.
The fouling is INSIDE the cover...perhaps not cleaned before launch,
perhaps grew there since launch, perhaps driven inside by the force of the
powerwash?  Dont know. ;(
The boat was launched with a freshly painted bottom mid-May 2015.
