Desitin (because of the high concentration of zinc) seemed to get a
lot of
votes. I think that's what I'm going to smear on my prop before I
launch
This has turned almost into a religious debate every spring. I use
PENATEN CREAM (any drugstore in the baby section). It works for me
because it doesn't wash off too quickly. Penaten is far more sticky
then Desitin. However from what I can gather Penaten cream will work
in colder waters, so will Desitin but not as long. Now when You are
in warmer climates, any cream will sooner or later wash off. When I
pulled my boat after almost two years in Lake Ontario, I had no
critters on shaft or prop. A few had manged to get into the pintels -
that's all. Like I said, I use Penaten Cream.
So, why don't you relocate to iceberg country already <BGN>

P.s. I don't polish my shiny three-bladed thing on the end of the
shaft. So it has taken on a smooth greenish grayish colour. Someone
suggested that perhaps there is a microscopic chemical reaction
between the bronze and the zink from the cream. Perhaps, perhaps it's
something else - I don't know. My prop doesn't shine but it's as
smooth as a well "Baby's Bottom". Gg
