Running Gear Pettit "Prop Coat Barnacle Barrier" #1792 Protects Underwater Metal

[DCMY #92]

I applied Velox to shafts, props and rudders a year ago (salt water in Florida). Very little operation - unfortunately. The diver says its OK so far.

Any further reports on Prop Coat? I am considering this since I neglected to treat my running gear when I did the bottom this spring. Here in brackish water on the Ortega River there is little growth and no barnacles, but we are heading south soon and I have been told that this or something similar is a necessity in South Florida.

Just used the new glidecoat prop optimizer. It went on easy and beautifully smooth. A week later we moved the boat to a lift slip so I'm guessing it will last forever.

That's the story of my life. Nothing goes as planned.

Used it once, yard reported that it was a b#$*h to get off when I had my next bottom job. Not sure if it helped.

Or as I aways say.... "No plan survives first contact with the enemy"......

I will say the props look great a month after launch.

Then again the coating keeps them shiny and doesn't show waterspots.

Velox applied to shafts and props 2 1/2 years ago - very little running. Diver this week said running gear was "fair".
