I used Pettit zinc spray and found it did little to stop barnacle growth
after a year. Last haul out I reapplied the zinc spray after sanding down
to bronze (Campbell Sailor fixed 3 blade), and then brushed  two coats of
Pettit Horizons ablative paint, but I won't know if this is better until
next year. The Horizons was quite effective against hard growth on the hull
after 2 years in BC waters, with only a line of green slime at the
waterline.

I have tried them all and been unimpressed with the results on my Maxprop.  I 
tried the Pettit Zinc barrier coat spray many years ago and did not find it 
very effective.  Tried lanolin and the same.  Tried bottom paint with primer 
and it did not adhere.  Did Propspeed one year and it was good, but only lasted 
one year.  PITA to redo every year.  Same with Propglide.  Worked pretty well 
but had to redo it every year.  This year, I put Pettit’s new Running Gear 
Guardian on two blades of my prop and Velux Plus on the other.  I was 
especially careful last winter as I had the prop at home and it had been 
refurbished by PYI so no grease and it was very clean to begin with and I was 
able to further clean it really well with recommended solvents.  Pettit’s 
product was very easy to apply and looked good.  So I had high hopes.   I had 
to do a short haul a couple of weeks after launch and both had fallen off the 
prop in large chunks. I will see end of season results when I haul next week.  
My conclusion: there is no great solution except underwater cleaning.  Dave

Hey Dwight,
Petit's Barnacle Barrier paint for prop and shaft.  I use it, but still got 
barnacles in the salt water of New Jersey.  I get less barnacles in Chesapeake 
Bay, but it's not perfect.  It's standard procedure at my boatyard to spray 
props and shafts with this material.
