northptsailor is on a distinguished road
Propshield

I just finished prepping the prop and shaft for the upcoming season. I have seen a product called Propshield advertised in Cruising World as a barnacle inhibitor. Does anyone have any experience with this material? It's pretty expensive (about $65) to try solely on the manufacturer's claims.

T37Chef will become famous soon enough
I have used Pettit Zinc Coat Barnacle Barrier with good results. After being in the water for 12 months there were no barnacles to be seen. Comes in a spray can, easy to use and I think it was about $12.00?
