Anti foul after a season


Recommended Posts

I had the boat lifted today and went down to take a look at the hull before it was jet washed off. Not too bad at all I think, especially as I never had a mid season lift and wash. 
just a layer of slime below the water line where the sun doesn’t reach, no barnacles on treated area.

The only barnacles were on the metal and plastics that were not anti fouled.

The only weed growth was just on the water line and on the transducers.

Really not too bad at all I reckon. 
Question, I’ve never removed a prop before, is it just the nut that needs loosening off then slide the whole thing off ?? Is it a reversed thread?

These are the best thing for polishing your prop that I’ve found. Don’t go mental on it though.

That actually looks pretty good for a season in the drink, so obviously you have the right antifoul on there.

Local to me during mid October, 16 boats were taken out (as they are every year) and there were plenty of barnacles and mussels on them, yours I would say is 90% better. One of the biggest problems locally in the estuary is small mussels blocking the engine intakes.

Interestingly the boats here come out in Oct and go back in just before Easter. They are taken out on a huge hydraulic trailer from the slipway, and 50% of the slipway carpark is tuned into a hardstanding area for the winter ............ £1000 per boat .

No crashing here other than your pore attempt at humour. We are discussing Fistys stern gear for your information. 🖕

So how is discussing Zook's Razzle collection related to Fisty's stern gear exactly?
