I sand the prop and shaft lightly with emery cloth, so maybe 100 grit and
then spray it on lightly to cover.  The prop still had full coverage when
we hauled out Friday.

Hi Ken- Sounds interesting.  How did you prepare the prop and shaft for

[Ken Heaton via CnC-List]

RUST-OLEUM makes a GALVANIZING COMPOUND SPRAY which is a 93% pure zinc
coating. I can get it at the local hardware store.  We've used it the last
couple of seasons. The boat comes out with the zinc paint still on
the prop, and no growth whatsoever.  Only about 45 hours on the engine this
season though.

"Instantly galvanize metal surfaces to protect them from corrosion with
Rust-Oleum® Professional Galvanizing Compound Spray. This 93% pure zinc
coating applies a galvanized film with cathodic protection, which resists
rusts, scratches and chips."

Thanks. Is that the one that works. I had a ton of little white barnacle on
my prop and prop shat at haul out. I don’t think the prop would have driven
the boat. I had to get a tow to the marina for hail out because of another
reason ( did not get my wet exhaust fixed in time) so I don’t know for sure
if I could got there with auxiliary power. I am anxious to try zinc paint

Here in Vancouver, my boat guru suggested zinc paint for the prop and shaft. I 
wasn’t too sure but now I’ve seen several yards using it. My prop and shaft 
come out of the water (yearly) without hard growth on them. I’m sold.

First full season for me with my C 34 and I used Interlux Micron CSC, as
that's what the previous owner 'thought' was on it when I bought it. A good
friend has also used it on his Tartan 3700 for years with good results. 

 

I used 2 to 3 coats after a light sanding of the previous coat(s) and it has
worked very well. Five months moored in the Northwest Arm in Halifax NS and
it was surprisingly super clean when it came out at end of season. a little
green scum in places but that's it! Stainless prop shaft was caked with
barnacles and growth, so I'm guessing bottom paint worked great where it was
applied!

 

Does anyone  coat their stainless prop shaft (or brass folding prop) with
bottom paint?

I have read that a poor man’s Prop Speed is to spray some Zinc Primer on the

Haven’t tried it myself, but I will when my Prop Speed wears away.

The paint is Pettit Odyssey Trinidad, and when I hauled a week ago the results

new growth that no one seems to know anything about, looks like a spider web 
growing all over the bottom, and there was NONE of that. No Zebra Mussels, 
nothing.

It is called ablative, but it is nowhere near as ablative as the previous 
year’s paint, very little came off with the pressure washer. Also, it called 
for two initial coats, I only used one. It goes on nice, and what I liked is 
that there is no heavy copper falling out, you don’t seem to need to keep 
stirring it as you go. In fact, I don’t think it has copper as we know it, 
Three Ingredients, Copper Thiocyanate, Econea, and Zinc Pyrithione.   I 
wouldn’t consider it a racing paint, but after a month, I might. One of the 
guys hauled his First 40 out and cleaned it (VC17) for the last race two weeks

I think it’s the Zinc . .  . .Also, a $30 rebate going on.

Dean,

I use the same paint on my 35 Mk2.  Applied two light coats of CSC with 
a paint sprayer every year (just under a gallon) with the same results 
that you saw.  I do paint the bronze prop shaft and Martec folding 
prop., but get some barnacles on the shaft and some near hub of prop, 
none on the hull.  I also tape out the area where I put the zinc donut. 
Since I do race, I do a light rub of the hull to remove the scum about 
once a month.

Stus-List Re: Bottom Paints Again

[Matthew via CnC-List]

I would add the following additional information to Bill’s note below.  The 
slip for Bill’s boat is about six slips away from mine.  This past spring my 
West System guru faired a few hull bumps that resulted from prior balsa core 
repairs.  When he was finished, we put two additional coats of Interlux barrier 
coat on for good measure.  After doing so, I learned that the barrier coat is 
incompatible with the bottom paint I purchased without sanding and applying a 
solvent, so I decided to launch the boat without bottom paint and let nature do 
some of the work.  I pulled the boat in August, power-washed a considerable 
amount of vegetative growth that had accumulated (including the spider web kind 
Bill described), and put the boat back in the water.  I hauled the boat for the 
season about three weeks ago, and what a mess!  Not only had the vegetative 
growth returned, but nearly the entire bottom was covered with zebra mussels.  
Power-washing got most of it off, but I have some additional work to do (which 
I needed to do anyway).

 

The bottom line: as confirmed by the condition of my boat at haul out, Bill’s 
bottom paint works very well in freshwater conditions.

Subject: Stus-List Bottom Paints Again

 

I know this subject is as old as boats, but I think I commented in the spring 
that I was trying a brand new paint and would report in the fall, so here it 
is.  It is raining and chilly and not much else going on in the NE, so . ..

 

The paint is Pettit Odyssey Trinidad, and when I hauled a week ago the results 
were nothing less than amazing. All of the clubs haul out guys (and girl) were 
in awe, and said it was the cleanest boat the have hauled this year.

 

There was some scum from the bow back amidships and going down a few inches, 
mostly on the north side, oddly enough.  But the rest was amazingly clean. Of 
note, here in the Great Lakes over the last 10 years or so there has been some 
new growth that no one seems to know anything about, looks like a spider web 
growing all over the bottom, and there was NONE of that. No Zebra Mussels, 
nothing.

It is called ablative, but it is nowhere near as ablative as the previous 
year’s paint, very little came off with the pressure washer. Also, it called 
for two initial coats, I only used one. It goes on nice, and what I liked is 
that there is no heavy copper falling out, you don’t seem to need to keep 
stirring it as you go. In fact, I don’t think it has copper as we know it, 
Three Ingredients, Copper Thiocyanate, Econea, and Zinc Pyrithione.   I 
wouldn’t consider it a racing paint, but after a month, I might. One of the 
guys hauled his First 40 out and cleaned it (VC17) for the last race two weeks 
before his final haulout, and his bottom was a mess, complete with ‘spiderwebs’ 
and Zebra Mussels. He was amazed to see how much scum was back on 2 weeks later.

 

I think it’s the Zinc . .  . .Also, a $30 rebate going on.

Hi Bill- Can you clarify what you used?  I looked at the Pettit site and there 
was nothing called Odyssey Trinidad.  There was an Odyssey Triton?   Dave
