jonnyswamp Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Does anyone polish their own prop, or send it away I sent mine away 2 yrs ago as it had a couple of dings in it that needed repairing This year, no damage so just want to polish it up What does everyone use ?

Saintly Fish Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I don't "polish" my prop. I do clean it with a drill and scrub pad. Then refit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I always polish mine. It makes a bit of a difference to performance, I gain another knots when if so clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonC Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I used a silicone carbide polishing wheel, then a polishing wheel, the ones that feel like felt. I only used a little brasso at the end with a cloth by hand so I could admire myself in it. You have to read the words as well as looking at the pictures 🤣 jonnyswamp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
