He may have sprayed the prop with a zinc based paint.....my brother does
it on his boat and it seems to work.....he offered the paint to me this
Spring but I launched before I got a chance to paint the prop.

I have struggled with how to deal with my prop and have tried a number
of suggested solutions over the years. None have been totally
satisfying in terms of keeping it clean for the season. Propspeed last
year was the best so far. I was sanding yesterday and the guy with
the boat next to me looks over and says he has some advice. He said
that many years ago, he sanded his prop clean and put the boat in the
water with no further treatment. He has not touched it in the years
since and claims he never gets barnacles. The prop now has a very
rough texture to the metal and looks nothing like brass. It looks
like it is coated with something and I have never seen anything like
it. Anyone know what is going on? Dave
