I guess it's a prop question so it was moved to props.
I have heard of people putting a heavy duty trash bag over the leg.
I believe there are devices to put over the prop as well.

Re: SS Prop

If you are talking barnacle growth, not much stops the little buggers. Not even a coating of vaseline. I would never recommend a trash bag. If you forget it, you have just overheated the motor, and the bag will have already been compromised by wave action and the barnacles will be under the bag anyway.

Re: SS Prop

The best way to keep the prop clean is to use the boat often. Second best way is to take a wire brush to it before each use. Brush off the barnacles, and that will slow them down.
