RUST-OLEUM makes a GALVANIZING COMPOUND SPRAY which is a 93% pure zinc coating. I can get it at the local hardware store. We've used it the last couple of seasons. The boat comes out with the zinc paint still on the prop, and no growth whatsoever. Only about 45 hours on the engine this season though.
"Instantly galvanize metal surfaces to protect them from corrosion with Rust-Oleum® Professional Galvanizing Compound Spray. This 93% pure zinc coating applies a galvanized film with cathodic protection, which resists rusts, scratches and chips." https://www.rustoleum.com/product-catalog/consumer-brands/professional/galvanizing-compound-spray/ Ken H.
