keeping props clean

[david gillam]

I operate Arneson drives in the warm waters of the Mediterranean and to minimise marine growth on the props (the boat spends a lot of time in the marina) I am considering covering them to prevent sunlight . I have thought of using a simple bag of dark material which I can easily place from the swim platform when not in use. Can any one see a down side to this?

and what to use cleaning grey rvs bravo props?

Forgetting to take the covers off before getting underway . Seriously though, I really can't think of any other than having to get wet to remove the covers, which will get pretty slimy themselves.

Isn't that what prop wash is for?

[yipster]

the props ( "rvs" is dutch i guess for "rust vree stainless"? ) are grey, was thinking of getting the shine back trying lemon or other soda's but "prop wash" eh? couln't find anything bout it in my boat cosmetics books.

edit: from the horses mouth i hear to take the props of and have them a night in vinigar
