Thanks for all the replies!
I sail on Ghost Lake in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains of Alberta.
Obviously it’s fresh water and cold as the lake is glacier fed from the
mountains. I never have growth on the prop and I don’t think lubrication would
make much difference. But I was wrong once in ‘53 :-)

Did you mean 80F? 80C would be tough sailing.

I have a 3 blade Bruntons Autoprop. Even with all the shiny ball bearings on
the hub for each blade it never gets grease or any other lubricant. Water here
in NS is cold and salty. Some barnacles attach themselves to the hub during
summer water at my mooring can reach 80C

I grease the pin and gears every year prior to launch and believe it helps the
blades retract more easily. The blades are still moving well when we pull in
the fall.
FYI – we’re in pretty cold fresh water in Lake Superior and don’t have a lot of
growth to worry about.

Do you lube it or leave it dry?
I’ve been leaving it dry but I’m open to suggestions/experience 🤷🏼♂️
