Default Propeller anti-fouling?

Check the ingredients of that antifoul paint. If its ingredients include
somethings like zinc or cadnium or nickle or magnesium or something with a
negative potential, then they are simply trying to solve their anodic
galvanic reaction which might be attracting the animals. Easier to solve
with a rectifiar or battery issues.

No exotic additives. From all I can find out the paint is basically a
very hard anti-fouling applied over some sort of (perhaps) epoxy based
primer. The one magazine article I read stated that the paint lasted
an entire season on a trawler yacht but I'd really like to see it in
action before spending the money.

Cheers,

Bruce
