Whatever happened to the research on using capsaicin in prop paints?
We don't have a mussel growth problem in Louisiana. If we did, our answer
would be mussels etoufee, mussels D'Iberville, mussels jambalaya.

Seems to work on barnacles, slime and mussels.
No PHRF hit, either.
I wonder if some sort of bubbler setup would discourage marine growth.

I have used 180 or 220 and sometimes bronze wool depending on the level of

is on hand. The acetone will remove more old zinc paint than the thinner.

I suspect that the broad difference in prop anti fouling coating performance

You seem to have a possible answer that you've tested on your boat and at
your mooring: just make your prop and shaft black with Micron 66...some will
come off the blade faces and tips as a result of cavitation but the shaft
and hub should fair better...worth a try if you don't mind painting t

I used Micron 66 this season and I think the paint is

Yes Danny, the prop is bronzeboat is launched mid-May and hauled
mid-October.and it is used almost every day.last Summer, I had
the boat out for a sail exactly 120 days and every day the engine is
used, so the prop is 'spinning'. My prop is practically encased in
mussels at haulout

A club member with a Nonsuch 36 has tried Prop-Speed (he bought it in
Florida) here with little success...I have seen his prop at haulout the

Bob,
I have used the Petit product (Zinc Coat Barnacle Barrier) for the last couple
of years here in Buzzard's Bay, MA with mixed results. As others report, I
sanded the prop down to very clean bronze and then applied 3 coats of the zinc
paint from the spray can. I did wait about 2 weeks aft

There is a product called Prop-Speed (I think that's it) that is VERY
expensive but is supposed to be effective. I will try it at the next

I have used Pettit's Zinc Coat Barnacle Barrier #1792 (locally $16 to $17 per
rattle can) for more than 10 years. I have been very satisfied with the
results.
Here in the Puget Sound area (cold dark salt water) it keeps growth off the
prop and shaft for up to two years. One can covers a

Your hose idea is quite dangerous. NEVER try and use a snorkel longer than the

The number of requests for the drawings has been surprising.
So far, I have forwarded the drawings to 9 owners.
In return for the drawings, I have been asking for details / contact info on

If you are only up to 1991 in your "catch up" reading, you have a long way
