The thickness of your boat’s bottom eventually builds up to a point where it has to be stripped back to start from the scratch.

Propeller Antifouling is done every four-five years with self eroding antifouling.

Let us look at the signs that say to carry on with Propeller Antifouling are:

1.      Flaking patches of paint have peeled off

2.      Craters where layers of old paint have been removed

3.      Blisters where water is trapped under a bubble of paint

Selecting the right propeller antifouling product for your propeller is very important.

Propeller antifouling products can be divided into two categories:

1.      Propeller Antifouling paint containing biocides that leak through the paint to create a toxic environment.

2.      Smooth surface coatings that create a surface that does not let organisms attach.




Both the propeller antifouling paint does not last long because of the environment. Propeller antifouling paints are also subject to adhesion issues and so soft that they constantly get worn down by friction.

Smooth surface propeller antifouling paints are made of silicone or wax as they are soft.

Which propeller antifouling to use?

PropOne or PropSpeed?

Let’s discuss…

PropSpeed is the new thing in the market and PropOne has been there for quite some time. PropSpeed is able to avoid slipping into the same ruts as its competitors’.

Cost is the biggest factor in PropOne.

When you compare the two products on the basis of price, PropSpeed is 30% less expensive than PropOn and offers 25% more product.

While PropSpeed is larger than PropOne in size, PropOne, however, manages a lower cost.

PropSpeed’s size is smaller than PropOne’s 250ml for sailboat owners.


In terms of performance, both propeller antifouling coatings are equally good. They do the job and it is too early to say which product will outlast the other in the minds of consumers.

To sum it all up

It depends upon your requirements and frequency of boat-use which propeller antifouling you use. You have to find out what suits your boat and choose propeller antifouling paint accordingly.
