Vasoline for boat hulls!

NH_boater · 06-09-2011, 07:37 AM

I can find hundreds of web references to putting vaseline on props for anti-fouling, seems to be done all the time. I can find no reference on this causing prop slip or lowering the props efficiency. Do you have any additional info on this?

Hopefully no one is taking this seriously..........

Less, sometimes you remind me of that Vaseline coated propeller of which you speak, no grip.
