Any one have any tricks to keep a S/S prop from getting the crap on it when slipped in the salt for six or seven months ?
Thanks

The best method I've found is to use it. The second best method is to take that "inside route" on the red buoy on the way back to the barn.

Flounder fishing does a pretty good jobs as well.

hitting sand helps, hitting shoals causes other issues.

agreed, only way is to pull the boat and clean it. Barnacles grow on everything, not even covering your prop in vaseline will help (BTDT)
