Sharp Props
Hi All,
Question for those with super sharp props. Do you use and sort of protective cover for them when at anchor with people in the water?
In a perfect world, no one would ever brush up against them, but even when warned, someone will, so does anyone have any bright ideas?
I was toying with something like a double thick neoprene cover for each prop, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel if there is already something out there.
On the plus side, it won't damage the prop, and won't sink if accidentally dropped. It could be a pain to put on though.
Thanks!

I do now!
I never used one until I kicked by prop by mistake last Labor Day. Now, 18 stiches and two severed tendons later, I use a regular old prop cover when ever anyone swims off my boat.
I still can't believe it happened, I was holding onto the swim platform with my feet on the transom. My foot slipped off and when I went to put it back, I kicked the prop. It didn't even seem like I kicked it that hard.
Oh well, lesson learned.
Yes, get the peop cover.

White Lightning from LOTO has red stripes going all the way down his #6 outdrives and you can see it very clear from out of the water. It really helps you know where everything is at because not everyone knows where to step on a #6 outdrive.
