Antifoul for outdrives & props

[stefan_r]

Have a reasonably high performance boat (Sunseeker Superhawk 2x300hp Yanmars on Bravo III) which has seen early 40 knots at slack water.

Fouling really knocks the top end so was looking for something for the drives and more importantly props to keep them clean during the season.

I have seen:
PropSheild
PropSpeed
SeaJet Pellerclean

Any ideas???

Stainless props, no antifoul required.
Had mine on for 8 months, only surface fouling which came away every outing.

Normal cruise 28 knots WOT 38 knots, targa 28, kad 32's, C6 duoprops.

As yet we haven't found anything to keep the legs clean.
Think some of your suggestions are lanolin based, which we've tried on our props with no success. If you want to give it a go then buy lanolin from a manufacturer/supplier as it's much cheaper than the above from a chandlery.

The best thing to keep props clean is frequent use.

iternational paint manufacture a product called interslick its a silicon based paint system and not much can attach to it, and what ever do will get washed of at speed. we apply this product to harbour tugs and it works no antifoul needed.
Propspeed is very good again silicon based

Thats what i know hope it helps

Thanks Paul - would be interested in trying that, if it's ok to be used on aluminium (legs).
I can't find it on International's website.
