Bottom paint on prop
In article . com,
says...
Hi,
I'm prepping the bottom of my sailboat for barrier coat then ablative
bottom paint.
I'm thinking, however, that it might be a good idea to paint the prop
with something like Trinidad instead of ablative. It seems to me that
the ablative won't last long on the prop.
What's the conventional wisdom here?
If you dispense with zincs, the copper ions migrazting into the water
will keep your prop totally free of growth. Of course, pretty soon you
won't have any prop at all. Problem soilved.
