Graham:
I had Rich and his 'prayer meetings' to have all the mussels grow on my
prop 'exorcised', now with Aquagard.
And yes, the Binnacle has this little can priced at $18.95.....but, I
will get 2 maybe 3 seasons worth of mussel free prop and it is so easy
to apply....just point and depress button.....that's got to be worth
something!

Are you sure it was the paint? I thought you also distracted Rich
when he was doing his "re-direct the mussels" dance on the end of the
wharf, word is that you gave him enough rum that the mussels ended up
in Grand Lake infesting the Tanzer 22 fleet there...
But seriously, how do you move a "6 ox." can, do you need a trailer? :-)
I have a new transducer to install, I will have to investigate this
stuff. I'm sure the Binnacle has it priced as if it is gold...

This time last year, I was considering painting my prop and SS shaft
with my bottom anti-fouling paint, Micron 66, to try to minimize
mussel growth.
Instead, I used a product I found at the Binnacle called "Aquagard
Transducer Paint"....a 6 ox. spay can.....label says it is good for
nylon and bronze transducers.....apply 2 coats.
On haulout last Fall, the prop and SS shaft was clean....a few
barnacles on the prop but no mussels......and there was no sign of
the 'spray paint' .....you could not tell that the prop and shaft
were painted.
Will put 2 coats on again in a few weeks.....will clean the prop this
time with a solvent before applying. The can doesn't say what is in
the product except 4 solvents all ending in 'lene".... toulene, etc.
