Most all of Mercury hi-performance stainless props are satin finished! My
hi-performance sportmaster lower unit is unpainted and has a satin finish
straight from the factory. All my Mercury performance props... 28p, 30p, 32p
are all satin finished from Mercury. Get the hint?

To the group,

Any benefit to polishing/waxing a propeller?

I'm a newby, and was wondering if a slippery (waxed) propeller is better
(more efficient).

Or is a non waxed one better, maybe allowing more 'bite'.

My intuition says that smoother is better, since propellers operate on a
water pressure difference (ahead and behind the prop) to create motion.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance,

Ken
