G'day All, I have just located a 52 year old used alloy prop for my '67 Evinrude 60HP SportFour. I'm told it's called a 'Power Propeller'
The prop is in very good condition given its age-are props of this vintage painted just for looks, or as an anti corrosion measure? Should I sand back the original worn paint and repaint it? Would a quality epoxy enamel suffice?
Would polishing the alloy make any difference?
My boat is a trailer boat and is only in the water when being used. Both salt and fresh.
Cheers William.
