In Response To: Re: Propeller Electrolysis (Tony Meola)

Sandy forget about stainless props left in the water. Greater galvanic corrosion with the stainless believe it or not. That's why you don't see them used for boats that are always in the water. Just like Tony said. I would really check the mating surfaces between the prop and shaft. Make sure they're smooth with valve grinding compound first then rise with fresh water then either Tefgel or Marine grade never seize or nothing. Main thing here is a very smooth surface is needed for precise mating and utmost conduction for protection of galvanic corrosion (Electrolysis is that electric hair removal altough mistakenly refered to the above problem)
