Propeller cleaning while having a scrub

[Ian MacAulay]

Good morning.

I've arranged a lift and scrub, usually I don't bother but as things have been a little different the past year and the boats been sat I'm having a quick lift now we can start using the boat again.

Normally I have time and I can polish the props up like new but for those who have a summer scrub ect what do you do with the props as I assume the pressure washing alone does not remove the rubbish on the props?

Kind regards

Ian

I have a selection of different scrapers to hand as well as some acid which I paint on, if I have time, to do the final clean.
Whatever you do, make sure you have some good strong gloves otherwise you’ll cut your hands to shreds.

Yes, many variants out there. We bought this as it was convenient. Great for cleaning the prop, waterline and decks.

It will chomp through anything [including your hands], so don't leave it on longer than required.
