There was a long discussion on another list about using diaper rash cream
such as Desatin when not using the boat. It is zinc based, they just coat
the prop underwater and barnacles don't adhere.

At the recommendation of my dealer, I bought a grouper zinc anode. It's the
one that is attached to a 20-foot cable with an alligator clip that attaches
to a ground point, and is dropped into the water. The dealer recommended
that I do this until I can get a new shaft anode attached.
I want the zinc to hang in the water as close to the prop as I can get it.
What is the closest ground point to the stern of the boat that I can attach
the clip to? Thanks.

My C350, located on a mooring in Cape Cod, was not used for a bit more than
3 weeks from late June till July 14. When I left my mooring in Cotuit Bay,
I could make no headway in reverse and very little in forward even at 3000
rpm. It turns out my prop was loaded with barnacles preventing the proper
flow of water through the prop. Wow - after 30 minutes of free dives and
many cuts on my hands, I managed to scrape off enough of those lousy
critters to make close to normal headway.
Does anyone know of any way to keep the barnacles off the prop when the boat
is not used for a while? Other than going down and scraping, does anyone
have any tricks to get them off the prop or will normal use of the prop and
boat shake them off?

used for a bit more than 3 =<BR>weeks from late<BR>June till July 14.
&nbsp;When I left my mooring in <st1:place =<BR>
w:st=3D"on"><st1:PlaceName<BR>
w:st=3D"on">Cotuit</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType =<BR>
w:st=3D"on">Bay</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>,<BR>I could make
no headway in reverse and very little in forward even at =<BR>3000 rpm.<BR>
&nbsp;It turns out my prop was loaded with barnacles preventing the =<BR>
proper flow<BR>of water through the prop. &nbsp;Wow &#8211; after 30
minutes of free =<BR>dives and<BR>many cuts on my hands, I managed to scrape
off enough of those lousy =<BR>critters<BR>to make close to normal headway.
