Prop Coating
As a matter of fact just a few hours ago I called about "Propspeed", that
supposedly does just that. Propspeed was mentioned on either this group or rbc, and on emailing the manufacture in New Zealand, I believe, I got the sense that it was not "owner applied". However, in talking with the distributor given by the home company, I was told that it could be owner applied, and that instructions were on this website: www.propspeedusa.com/ Two years ago for the first time I gave the full treatment as recommended by Interlux to my props to put antifouling on them. Seems like it was a total of about 4 or 5 liquids, 2 of which were mixed. together. When I haul in the next few days, I'll decide whether to do it again or maybe start over from scratch w/ Propspeed. As the original poster of Propspeed said, it is expensive. I think the quantity I'd need for my 2 props is about $200 (smallest container) "Sailaway" wrote in message ... The guy I sail with is looking for a good slick coating for the folding prop on his J-109 racing sailboat. The prop appears to be made of brass or bronze, and gets a pretty good dose of hard marine growth during the season here in the northeast. He has the bottom cleaned each week or just before races during the season. The bottom has some kind of slick paint or coating on it, not like anti-fouling paint, but the prop is bare. So far, there is only one coating that sounds good, but requires the prop to be removed and sent to the company for treatment. Anyone know of a treatment that can be self-applied that would not cause a lot of friction in the water, and yet protect from sea life? |
