Grease all your through hulls before launching.  Use a good heavy spray grease from bottom of boat, then go inside and work all sea cocks.  White spray grease is available at local hardware stores.

Have boatyard check strut bearings and rudder post for leaks before launching.

Propspeed

3/2/2018

 
Picture
Examine your prop and rudder well, did you have any barnacles or growth? If so, we strongly recommend PropSpeed for both. It's generally a job for your boatyard, prep and application is the key here.

More Speed, Less Fuel.....Propspeed is the original propeller and running gear foul release coating system, specially formulated to prevent marine growth from bonding to metal surfaces below the water line.
