As a matter of fact just a few hours ago I called about "Propspeed", that
supposedly does just that. Propspeed was mentioned on either this group or
rbc, and on emailing the manufacture in New Zealand, I believe, I got the
sense that it was not "owner applied". However, in talking with the
distributor given by the home company, I was told that it could be owner
applied, and that instructions were on this website:

www.propspeedusa.com/

Two years ago for the first time I gave the full treatment as recommended by
Interlux to my props to put antifouling on them. Seems like it was a total
of about 4 or 5 liquids, 2 of which were mixed. together. When I haul in the
next few days, I'll decide whether to do it again or maybe start over from
scratch w/ Propspeed. As the original poster of Propspeed said, it is
expensive. I think the quantity I'd need for my 2 props is about $200
(smallest container)

The guy I sail with is looking for a good slick coating for the folding
prop on his J-109 racing sailboat. The prop appears to be made of brass or
bronze, and gets a pretty good dose of hard marine growth during the
season here in the northeast. He has the bottom cleaned each week or just
before races during the season. The bottom has some kind of slick paint or
coating on it, not like anti-fouling paint, but the prop is bare. So far,
there is only one coating that sounds good, but requires the prop to be
removed and sent to the company for treatment. Anyone know of a treatment
that can be self-applied that would not cause a lot of friction in the
water, and yet protect from sea life?
