I know I have seen some threads about prop covers for trailering and storage but does any one know of a good cover that I can throw on (easily) while anchored to protect my guests/my kids from getting cut while climbing back on the boat after a swim ?

I was thinking the same thing....

Hering has them, have a set for mine. Made out of heavy duty nylon and closed cell foam.

It's a good idea but they gotta watch out for the anti-ventilation plate along with the other goodies too. When swimming with people who'd never been on my boat before I would take a few minutes to actually show them the drive, where it is, what it will do to you, and where to safely jump in and re-board. I had a girl just jump off once and she landed right on the drive and got cut-up pretty bad. After that I made sure everyone knew about the equipment and never had another incident.

seen them but they seem to be for trailering.....can they get wet and last ? I am looking to throw them on while in water....

I already do explain and show guests but my big problem is my 4 year old and her friends.......they say yes but as soon as they are having a little fun all of that goes out the window...... for the most part I have a large inflatable that I tie to the swim platform so no one gets near the drives, but once in a while if we are just staying for a short time I won't inflate the raft........then I would throw on the prop covers......

this is the inflatable I tie off my swim platform....

Ahhh...4, got it.

P/M me your email, and I'll send over a couple of pics. I made a set of covers for my props that work great. They are thick plastic garden tubs that are covered in vinyl with an elastic draw-string that pulls them down tight around the hubs. You can sit on the props if you wanted to.

I have three kids 13,11,and 7 with the SSM props the wife was really worried about someone getting cut.
