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.


When we were still in Michigan, even using a copper based bottom paint
(VC 17) and having a bronze prop, we still had a few zebra mussels at
the end of wach season...


I use VC 17 and never get zebra mussels where it is painted. Only on
places where there is no paint, like at the top of the rudder, or on
the plastic thru-hull fittings.





I'm Horvath and I approve of this post.
