Have a new Solas Al prop to go on before the boat goes back into the water.. Prop comes with a nice baked paint finish which I am sure the crusty creatures will love..

I am wondering if it's worth spraying on some AF paint before it goes on? or is af paint pretty useless in this application given the velocity of the prop?

Thanks..

Yep, you guessed it, it'll last 5 minutes with no benefits at all. Better to lift the drive regularly and clean by brush and hand.:ambivalence:
