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
