Spring plans to coat rudders & skeg

[zinbaad]

Just got around to book winter storage on land close to home and thinking of spring projects.
Retune my 20x20 props, maybe find a backup set (if anyone has or knows of pair for sale please let me know 20x20 0r 19x21 1 3/34 shaft)
I plan on sanding down the rudders & skegs to bare metal and coating with this expoxy stuff I have seen at the prop shop & on a friends Pursuit. Promotes a bit less drag and barnicle growth.
If you know where to purchase the 2 part coating at a resonable price, lol please let me know. Seems to be similar to the 1 pint/to one gallon coatings I used on my Kennel floors, only its clear instead.

Heres another with other products. I am waiting for John to pull his boat this winter and give us a report as to how the prop speed product held up on his boat. Also, someone else used a zinc paint on his, so I want to hear his results as well. My boat will not go back in the water next year without one of these products on it.

I used the zinc paint on my prop, rudder and tabs this spring. The prop and rudder have remained clean all year and it's been a very bad year here. The trim tabs haven't done well at all, neither has my bottom paint but that's another story. I originally had Prop-Speed on my running gear. Two years and the prop, rudder, tabs and all of my thru-hulls were spotless. Great stuff as long as it's applied correctly. I may go back to it, mainly for keeping the trim tabs clean.

Sorry to be late reporting. CLEAN. No barnacles. Looked very good. I have pulled the prop and sent it in for tuning. (that will be another post)
Recommend the Propspeed product as others have.
