SPRING CLEANING: PROP AND DYNAPLATE
I don't put any anti fouling on my prop. I do occasionally dive over the summer and clean the prop by hand when the boat is in the water. But, late in the season the water gets a little too cold to do so. When I pull the boat there might be a few barnacles that have attached themselves to the prop. So one of my annual spring outfitting chores is cleaning and polishing the prop. I start using my trusty hand held Paint Scrapper to knock off what barnacles I can:
It easy to knock off the hard barnacle shells using this tool both on land and also when the boat is in the water too.
Once I've removed most of the barnacles that attached to the prop late in the season. I then switch to using an electric drill and an 3M Paint and Rust Stripperwhich makes cleaning and polishing the prop a fast and easy process as this video shows: It also does a real good job cleaning and polishing the boats Dyna Plate ground plane too:
