Pettit makes a great product that is a spray on zinc.
Several coats applied before launching will keep
the nasties off for a season. Since it is zinc, it
also provides cathodic protection as well.

yes, even just a small number of barnacles will contribute to a loss of
revs
and add additional load on the engine. Scrape the buggars off.
Unfortunately
they will be back soon.

One day someone will invent something you can apply underwater to props.
I've had to slip boats all too often when the only thing in need of a
clean
was the prop and rudder . . .
