It dont matter anyway..it's not going to last long anyway.. I tried everything Scotty, and nothing last more than 1 year. After a year you need to jump in and scrape the wheel often. Joe |

If you're going to paint your prop with anti- fouling, you need to either prime it first OR use a non-metal-based anti-fouling. It dont matter anyway..it's not going to last long anyway..

Barnacles won't grow on a prop that gets run every week or so. You don't live in an area of active barnacle growth, then. Here on the Central East coast of Florida, 3 days can have small barnacles attaching themselves. Even with good bottom paint, if you want to win races, you wipe the bottom before every race. |

I'm surprised at Joe's suggestion, which will cause electrolysis
corrosion on the prop. If you're going to paint your prop with anti- fouling, you need to either prime it first OR use a non-metal-based anti-fouling.

You don't live in an area of active barnacle growth, then. That would be incorrect. Barnacles grow just fine in our home waters. Here on the Central East coast of Florida, 3 days can have small barnacles attaching themselves. Sure, but how small? And how much hard shell growth at the point of attachment? If the prop is run up to speed every week, then you will see only small barnacles around the hub pretty much indefinitely. Try it. Even with good bottom paint, if you want to win races, you wipe the bottom before every race. Or dry sail.... but that's true everywhere, even in fresh water. All kinds of stuff besides barnacles grows on the hull of a a boat, and none of it makes the boat go faster. DSK |

I always use ablatives and never NEVER any antifoulants with metals like copper. I also put on an epoxy barrier first..it still wears off in no time attall.
