After you get done scraping your prop, much as Joe suggests, you might want
to consider spending some time in the fresh water portion of the locale
periodically if that's possible. That will kill the salt water creatures.

New boat owner here.

I have a folding brass prop on my sailboat that aquired
a lot of barnicles. I have chipped off most of the barnicles but the
prop is far from smooth.

The boat sits in salt water near the mouth of a fresh water river.

My question is what should I use to clear the prop of the remnants of
the barnicles (sand paper? if so what grit) and should I treat the
prop with some kind of anti fouling paint?

Thanks
Steve
