How does Propspeed work? Propspeed is a foul release coating, not an anti-foul, so it doesnt harm marine life. The top coat on the Propspeed system is an ultra-slick surface that marine growth cant grip. Propspeeds effectiveness does depend on movement of your boat – the more you use it, the better Propspeed performs. Propspeed sets itself apart from the competition with the exceptionally strong chemical and physical bond between the metal substrate, the primer and the top coat – this ensures that the Propspeed coating actually stays on your running gear.
Is Propspeed environmentally friendly? Yes. Propspeed contains no copper, tin or any other toxic substances harmful to marine life.
How long does Propspeed last? Propspeed will last at least a year, but many customers report another one or even two years service life. This depends on what sort of marine environment your boat is moored in, the water temperature, and how often you use it.
Will Propspeed lose its effectiveness if my boat is out on the water for a period of time? No, provided the only maintenance given to the parts with Propspeed applied is a light wiping with a non-abrasive cloth, the boat can be hauled and launched multiple times, or left out for long periods without affecting the performance of Propspeed. If you are having the bottom of the boat high pressure washed ensure that any Propspeed coated parts are covered to prevent damage.
Can Propspeed protect against Zebra mussels and other freshwater growth? Propspeed can be used successfully in fresh or salt water. As its a foul release, not a biocide or anti-foul, Propspeed relies on a slick surface – it doesnt matter what sort of marine growth you have, it wont be able to get a grip.
What parts on the bottom of the boat can be coated with Propspeed? Propspeed can be applied to any metal part below the waterline, including propellers, shafts, struts, rudders, trim tabs and through hull fittings. You can also use the clear coat directly on plastic bow-thrusters and underwater lights.
What is the shelf life of Propspeed All Propspeed kits have a shelf life of 3 years from date of manufacture. The date of manufacture should be clearly labelled on your kit and components
What sort of maintenance does Propspeed need? None. The foul release formulation is self-cleaning as soon as the propeller starts up. If required, a light wipe with a non-abrasive cloth will remove any marine growth. When hauling out, ensure the Propspeed is wiped down with a non-abrasive cloth before any marine growth on the surface can dry. Water-blasting, scraping and other abrasive cleaning will damage the Propspeed and eliminate its effectiveness.
