Default prop paint

You still need to paint it with a primer and then with special
antifouling for props which is harder than normal antifouling paint.
And of course you need to run the prop once a week as some guys said!
And yes Bronze props Do get barnacles if you dont run it!!!



Really? I never get barnacles on mine. Boat builders used to put tin
or copper on the bottom of boats to keep off the barnacles, because
barnacles wouldn't grow on those. Today's bottom paint is copper
based. Isn't your prop made out of an alloy of copper and tin?

I've never seen any barnacles on any props of any boats in my marina.
No barnacles. Not one. No zebra mussels either.




I'm Horvath and I approve of this post.
