[Public-list] [Fwd: [atomic4] prop fouling]

[Elaine and Brian Timmins]

I use Interlux spray underwater metal primer followed by two coats of my 
hard ablative bottom paint on my prop. It's usually good. I'm staying in the 
water this winter, but now the water has cleared up enough to visually check 
the bottom. The prop looks just as good as the rest of the bottom.
