Blade Guards
 

Anybody know who makes blade guards? I park my boat is a shallow area at times where people are walking/swimming around the boat and I don't want anyone to get cut. I have 4 blade cleaver style props that are pretty sharp and stick out beyond the swim platform. Looking for a slip on style plastic guard so if someone does walk into the prop, I don't have to cut my day short to take them to the ER! Any info would help. thank you.

I saw on a boat for sale they used pool noodles and cut them to the blade length then split it down the middle so it slipped right over the blade. I'm not sure how this would work in the water but its worth a shot

bblades makes some sort of neoprene covers that slip on

I used some things awhile back called prop socks for the same purpose. They were designed for trailering but would work for temp protection your looking for. plastic blade covers held together by elastic bands. I think I have a couple sets lying around someplace?

How about just slipping on a prop cover that is round with elastic bands around the perimeter to hold it on. Mercury sells these. We used to sell ours, but our source went belly up.

Please take a look at these.
They work awesome. We can actually make a logo or copy a photo to the cover to your desire. Maybe a picture of the family dog?

Search "prop covers" here on OSO. There are dozens of threads on this.

The props on Kevin's "new to him" boat are no stranger to blood! :cool:
