I'm just waiting for someone to hit one of my props while swimming and it bothers me. I'm running 16.5X 36 Merc 5 blades on NXT drives. Will any of these covers fit my props??
Thanks much.

I use the one from BBlades. Works great and very easy to put on.

Is the Herring cover paded like some of those shown in this thread? Thats really what i'm looking for. Those points on the blades are really sharp.

I've seen people in our area just take a "swimming noodle" and put a slice down the center, then wrap around the prop using the the ear points to hold it on and cut the extra length off? I haven't had any experience with this but have seen it a few times and seems to be a cheap way out and easy to do is you need something quick.
