I use this  

PropspeedT 

PropspeedT prevents marine growth from bonding to metal surfaces below the
waterline. PropspeedT works because it is slick, not because it is toxic. 

Application of PropspeedT is a simple two step process beginning with a
catalyzed etch primer followed by a silicone based top coat. PropspeedT is
an environmentally safe product and does not contain copper, tin or any
other toxic substances which may cause environmental pollution. 

PropspeedT is a solution to a problem which has frustrated owners and
captains for years.

Hello To All,

The prop on my recently hauled C320 had a lot of barnacles (new owner).  I
just finished reading Nigel Calder's article on this problem in the Sept.
issue of Sail Magazine in which he mentions several products to remedy the
problem.  Does anyone have a favorite product among these?  Do you recommend
painting the prop with bottom paint first before applying one of these
products?  Mr. Calder's research shows that fuel consumption increases 50%
with "with just a few barnacles on the propeller."

Thanks very much.

Joe
