The boat yard coated the prop and the stuffing box before the stuffing box nut went on. I was not sure what this was for - but I see that I am not getting any water inside. The mechanic said that it keeps the growth down. I have not seen the prop for about a year and a half. I will have the bottom cleaned this month and I will have the diver give me a feedback. More later....

I've put Lanocote on, and it seems to keep anything significant from growing on the prop for season (you know we're in the same waters as you); a few barnacles got on the shaft but they were easy to scrape off. I've read that paint should not be used (I can't recall why...).

What I know is the the manufacturer claims the product can be applied underwater. I have found this to not be the case. Would be interested to hear any hull cleaner reports on the product's efficacy.
