Re: Rope/Trash Fouling Reduction
The only place I've seen prop protection is on commercial boats that run gear like pots and traps. They have bigger engines than sailboats.

It causes drag. With barnacles (like the pic), even more drag. Probably too much drag on an already slow sailboat. Line cutters might be a better solution.
