But while the boat is in the water there not much you can do. Try lanoline smeared on while diving it?

I just keep my scraper handy.... but the water here is warm

Hi Mark. Very interested in your reply. Are you sure it is propspeed you are using and not Interspeed.
Propspeed is a two part application that is a gold/yellow colour and remains tacky.
Very suprised you did not get a good result. Regards. Jason

We have incredible growth where I am. If I leave the boat for 6 weeks this time of year I have to dive and spend at least a half an hour scraping barnacles. I generally always start a cruise with a dive.

Friday I buttoned up maritime operations after two weeks on the water. I could not believe the amount of slime and several hundred small barnacles on my inflatable!

I'm heading back to the boat after two weeks of work. I'm hoping that things won't be as bad as last year where I was away a month:

prop and shaft could not be seen and I'm not even in the tropics!

Where in NC are you located since we are moving the boat from the Cheaspeake to NC next spring?

Sounds like your diesel is the 4-91 or w30 Westerbeke, 1700 is a good cruise Rpm for them as redline is only around 22-2400.

Hi Lancelot, we're off the Neuse River near Oriental.

Capt Mike, that's pretty serious growth! I can never see mine that well, often do it with my eyes closed and just feel.
