Prop protection
 

Looking for advice on best way to protect labbed props when trailering, short of removing them.

Re: Prop protection
 

other than theft, what would happen to them?

Re: Prop protection
 

rocks are good way to nick up a set of props...

I would find a rubbermaid plastic container of the appropriate diameter, paint it black, attach some velcro straps, and finally... paint one of those smilie faces on each one. Done and done. :)

Thanks 357stinger,

Good find there! This is what I'm looking for.

Has anyone used these for trailering?

Re: Prop protection
 

Not sure what is up on my end.

I am taking that Monday off I think.

Tizbad has my boat checking on a drive issue I had last week. My drives are too big to pull by myself and the swim deck makes a hoist useless.

Might have my boat back, might not. Am definately shooting to be back in the water for the ORYC regatta the weekend after the 4th. Have a dock there this year.

I am always up for beer scrounging... but to be honest I have avoided the fireworks by boat for many years because of the level of seamanship that you get out there during fireworks. Stuff like 8 boats rafted off of one anchor and they SWEAR that they aren't loose and drifting into your boat that is secured alone with two anchors out. :D

If you are on day shift... give me a call sometime. I am up in the ACC suite 307. 1-8900. Seems like I owe you somewhere around 10 beers.

I still think that you should put smilies on your prop covers. Just like the old VW Bus spare tire covers. Very hip. :)

Prop sox West Marine.

Re: Prop protection
 

http://www.hardlineproducts.com/propstop.html carries the "Prop Bag" and Kevin Schulte, the owner is a long time OSO member. Keep the $ in the family.

Also; www.propgear.com is what I have on my boat. West Marine carries the Prop Gear line. They usually have red and black in stock. They have reflective lettering/design on the back for better night visibility and a hard disk inside the casing.

I had a set of Prop Gear's covers modified for myself and Docmanrich37. They turned out as pictured in this thread:
