You don't want to put paint on your MaxProp, take the paint off and apply the Pettit zinc cote to the prop, shaft and strut. Three coats and keep it out of the cutlass bearing.

The Pettit stuff works great...if you question my advice speak to the people at PYI PYI Inc. Max-Prop PSS Shaft Seal Seaview Radar Mounts R&D plus you can order the Pettit and a MaxProp grease kit while you are on the phone.
